I had a student roll up their little half paper homework sheet, and pretend to smoke out of it like they were smoking marijuana. They were telling all of the students who didn't know what that was that their parents do it. I did not want my students going home and telling their parents what was being said in the classroom so I address the parents of the student who started this. They were very aggressive and told me to stay out of their business. What should I do to make sure it doesn't happen again? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You could bring it up to administration, you can talk to other teachers around you that have been teaching longer and may have been in situations like this. Get their input on it. If anything send a note to the parents again and bring it up to administration about how the parents were rude about the situation and didn't seem to care about the other students. There is also the solution of sending home a letter to other parents about what is happening in the classroom, so they are aware of what is happening and you are doing your best to resolve the matter.                 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: Sending home a note constanty could lead to a bad situation. Especially if the parent knows that it is the child's fault that they are being questioned, they could end up taking it out on the child.

I feel like it is an invasion of privacy to tell other parents what goes on in someone else's home.

One you shouldn't be talking around to other teachers. Two I wouldn't send a letter home again, this needs to be done in person. And three, I would never send an email/ letter to other parents in the class because that is pointing out the other family and going to make all the parents worry, upset, and it will become out of hand.
