  Case: Inappropriate Questions from a Parent
A parent in our school has approached me multiple times to try and gain information about other teachers and sensitive school related issues. I do not even teach the parent's child, but she is extremely aggressive about asking questions. I have notified my administrator, but nothing has changed. What is the best way to address the issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Advise her that you are not allow to answer her questions as politely as possible.

Comments: Well this is the beginning of a good solution you do also have to allow the other parent will continue to pursue the teacher no matter what answer is given as that seems to have already been attempted at this point

Comments: I think that not only should they do this, they should also refer them to someone who can answer these questions and politely say that they don't what them doing this to them anymore.
