  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!)
If you were the teacher, I personally don't think there is anything you can do to change the parents attitudes. I would make sure the child isn't being abused or neglected and maybe work with him one - on one.

Comments: I agree that you should make sure the student is not neglected at home, but this does not solve this issue at hand with parent involvement. An in depth parent-teacher conference may help, as well as communicating mainly with the involved parent.

Comments: There are ways to implement solutions, even if it means meeting with a counselor. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the child is being neglected or abused.
