Case: What goes on at home?
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!)
Hi aDaWaV,
First, I would conference with administration to confirm how the school policies dictate this should be handled. Once this is established, I would conference with the student to let them know why that behavior is not acceptable. Explain that there is zero tolerance for drug related activities at school. Explain that their parents have the choice and freedom to do this if they want, but that is a personal decision that the parents likely will not want the student spreading around. Emphasize that the student will get a consequence if he/she continues to talk about i to others. I don't think you did anything wrong by telling the parents, as that is a very personal piece of information that they probably do not want their child spreading around. I would make sure that the parents understand that they do not need to confirm whether it is true or not as that is their personal business, but that you just wanted to notify them that their child was talking about this in public and spreading this information. Make sure the parents understand that you are not judging them, just informing them. I would conference (phone or in person) with the parents to explain this but I would not hold the conference alone - I would involve another teacher or admin as a witness in case the parents react unfavorably.

Comments: I think this solution is a good one to solving the problem as it would allow administrators to know of what is occurring and help with how to best handle situation. I like the solution as it is detailed and goes through steps of finding the right solution for the problem, as sometimes scenarios need different approaches for the problem to be handled correctly. |

Comments: I fully agree with this solution. It is important that the student knows that they cannot be talking about that kind of ting in class and that it is clear to the parents that you are not judging them and simply want your students to be focused on what they need to be focused on in class. |
