Case: Field trip go wrong
I had parents chaperon for our field trip to an amusement park. The one mom took her group which had her child in it, out of the permitter of where they were allowed to go. I told her many times to stay where they were permitted but she keeps doing it. Do I take her group and tell her to leave since she is responsible for the children in her group?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Hi aDaWaV,
First, I would make sure that the parent is aware of the perimeters. Perhaps she is confused as to where exactly the perimeters are. If she is not confused about this and is blatantly going against instructions, then I would explain to her the importance of keeping them in the perimeter (i.e. student safety). If the mom still goes against this after you explicitly explain the purpose of perimeters, then I would regroup the students and chaperones in a way that puts the mom in with your group. If there aren't enough chaperones to accommodate this regrouping, consider creating larger groups of students so that you can be in the same group as the mother. It is better to be safe than sorry. Basically, regroup, make it through the day, and do not invite that parent to chaperone again. If she tries to chaperone again in the future, just find a way to politely explain that she is not needed.

| Comments: You're giving the chaperone too much leniency. Just kick her out of the group and tell her to go home if she can't follow the rules and put students safety at potential risk. |

| Comments: This solution address the parent politely but also lets her know that her actions will not be tolerated and should she continue them then she may not be with her child in a group anymore or she will have to walk in a lager group with the teacher and other students. Should it come to that then unfortunately that particular parent will not be incited to chaperone anymore. |

| Comments: This solution is wise because it first involves the teacher ensuring that the parent understands the directions, rather than assuming the parent is blatantly ignoring you. I also think putting yourself, as the teacher, in the same group as this parent, is an excellent solution, as you can help her to keep the students within the boundaries. Possibly she needs help managing a group. |

| Comments: Ensuring the parent is aware of the perimeters is a good first step to take before blatantly assuming she is intentionally breaking the rules. If the parent does not listen after having the rules clarified to her, I agree it would be best to have her stay in your group, since she is putting the safety of other students at risk. As a teacher, it is your top priority to keep students safe at school and during field trips, and unfortunately this cannot be accomplished when a chaperone ignores the rules. |
