  Case: Lost lunch boxes
A mother comes in ranting for the third time this week stating that their child's lunch box. You as the teacher should be looking into this and that they are not going to send their child to school with a lunch box anymore as they can't afford to replace it.
Parent : I am sick of this. This is the third time I have had to look for my child's lunch box. I am not going to replace this one.
Continue this scenario to resolve the issue.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would advise the parent that if they do not wish to replace the lunchbox, that is their choice. If they were implying that I was responsible for the loss of the lunchbox and should therefore pay to replace it, I would inform them that I am not obligated to keep track of student's personal belongings and we advise them to not bring valuables to school. Misplacing a lunchbox three times does seem excessive so I would sit down with the student to figure out what might be happening to it, whether it is accidentally or purposely thrown away or the result of bullying, or being left on the bus. These would then need to be addressed accordingly.
