  Case: Inappropriate Comments from a Parent
At the school I teach at there is a parent that is consistently walking their student all the way to the classroom and shares very unwarranted, unwanted and inappropriate comments with a few female teachers in the building. They are all choosing to just ignore him/hide from him when they see him walking down the hall. What would you recommend I do about the situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would recommend that the people who are feeling uncomfortable need to report it to administration immediately. While they have felt it best to ignore and hide, that has not helped solve the problem and has made the whole situation even more uncomfortable. The person may not realize that what they are doing is causing a problem. While it may be obvious to everyone else involved, he may be oblivious. Administration can talk to him and let him know how they have decided to handle the situation. That may mean he is given a warning to stop so that he has a chance to modify his behavior. I feel that he should be allowed to walk his child to class as that helps children feel secure and safe transitioning from home to school.

Comments: I agree with your solution, the administration should be notified immediately so that they may handle it but I feel that the parent still has a right to walk his child to class. However, a resource officer should be in the hallway during when he is dropping off his child which may help curb the behavior.

Comments: I agree with this. Administration should be informed but he should have a chance to change his behavior. If it doesn't stop then not allowing him to walk his child in seems to be an appropriate measure.

Comments: I would do this if I were in a similar situation. I agree that this transition with their parent may help the student feel more secure. So to ensure everyone's safety admin can talk to the parent and warn them that they will not be allowed to walk their child if it persists.
