I had a parent email me and explain that her daughter felt bullied because she was a table with all boys. The table consisted of her daughter and two other boys. I tried to explain that the desks were in groups of three and one gender would out weigh the other. She did not seem to understand. What would you say to a parent if this happened to you? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would explain to the parent that her assigned seat wont be forever and that they will be switching seats soon as a class.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: While I think this could be a temporary solution, the parent may always have a problem with where her child sits. It may be worth explaining to the parent the method used when making seating charts, why it is the way it is, etc. Rated On: October 15, 2017 10:05 pm Rated By: QeZyqa                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This is not useful because it doesn't address the problem or give any reassurance to the parent Rated On: October 14, 2018 6:02 pm Rated By: aVugaG                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This isn't really a solution because the parent clearly doesn't want her sitting there. Simply moving her will solve the problem and make the parent less of a hassle. This solution assumes the parent will understand. Rated On: March 30, 2023 3:04 am Rated By: XereRa
