Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Sexist Parent I have a male student that works very well with the other boys in the classroom but when it comes to working with the girls he says a lot of sexist comments such as, "Why do you even try when you're just going to end up in the kitchen." I asked for a conference with the parents and found out that the father has been teaching him very sexist things. He continuously disrespected me and told me that what his son was saying is the truth in the end. His mother was not there and so I felt very uncomfortable and very mad that his father was treating me this way. I have tried contacting the mother to try and get her to come in but she constantly cancels on me and does not respond to any of my emails or notes. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This is a major issue that needs to be addressed with parents and tell them that attitude will not be allowed in your classroom.                 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 Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a direct and appropriate solutions to the problem.

Making sure that your own personal rules inside of your classroom are reinforced and are handled as they should be, does show that there are rules and other places and not everything is like home Rated On: October 15, 2017 11:59 pm Rated By: duPuSa                 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 Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: October 16, 2017 3:58 am Rated By: guXyLy                 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 solution is not helpful as the teacher has already attempted to communicate with the parents several times and the father was rude and the mother would not respond.

Sitting down with other teachers can be useful so that you have backup with talking to the parents.

The solution is also generic. Rated On: October 31, 2021 6:30 am Rated By: aseTyD
