Case: On parent is in and another is out
When I was interning in a 5th grade class, I had a student that was having trouble in class. When we had parents conferences, one parent was all in and wanting to make sure the student was set and would discipline him if he was not completing work and losing his homework. The other parent didn't care that the student wasn't doing well in the classroom and just didn't seem to care about his grades.
How would I deal with this, if I was the teacher talking to these parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would start collecting the student's work for a portfolio. This way it can be shown to both parents. If the child is living with the parent who doesn't care, his work will reflect that. Then, at the end of the year when the parent wants to know why their child is failing or not getting an A or B, you have a portfolio of work to show them. |

| Comments: Although this is all meant to be helpful, I believe this would not be the type of thing that the teacher is responsibe for doing. We aren't here to help the parent be a better parent, we are here to help the student. |

| Comments: I would not do this to an extent. The portfolio if created should be shown to share the importance of the students education, not to blame one parent instead of the other. |

| Comments: I don't think this is the best solution as the parent who isn't involved with the student might not care about the work in the portfolio. They might have the same attitude about the portfolio as about the rest of the schoolwork. |

| Comments: This solution is not respectful of the student or of the parent that does care. It isn't our job to "prove the other parent wrong". It's our job to ensure the success of our students. |
