  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 just bring it to their attention that students do so much better with their school and homework if both parents put in the effort in the nicest way. Don't necessarily tell them how to parent just some facts about the statistics of the children who do better. Keep the students work together throughout the period and show the parents at the end of the year.
