  Case: Complaining Parent
Coach Smith teaches PE and coaches a middle school softball team in her lifelong hometown. Although she diligently works daily to provide the best for all of her students and players, one mother simply will not let up. Every day this mother finds something to complain about whether it is about coaching styles, coaching techniques, or teaching practices. Many believe that the complaining is insignificant and simply an attempt to make things hard for Coach Smith. Although she has been patient throughout it all, it is beginning to bother her tremendously. What should she do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask the parent to arrange a time for them to meet to discuss things. At this time Coach Smith could inform the parent she has been listening and doing what she can to help with what the parent is concerned about. If the school has someone who is above Coach Smith I would invite them to this meeting. Some times parents feel the need to be heard, whether it is polite or correct but once they are heard they stop.
