  Case: If a parent disagrees with a grade you assigned to a student, how would you handle it?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think I would give them the respect and go over the assignment again myself to make sure I (as a human who makes mistakes) that I did not. Then once I checked myself for grading mistakes, go over with he parent why the child got the grade he/she earned and that I hope the child will do better on future assignments. I, by no means, would allow a students parent to become tempered and tell me I do not know how to do my job, that would be very unethical.
