In my three years of teaching, I can honestly say that I have had more parent conferences without the parent than I have had with the parent. It is very sad. I cannot imagine how it makes the child feel that their parent did not care enough to come. There are several students who will admit that they do not care about school, and it is not important. These students apparently do not value education because their parents do not value it in the home. The do not stress the importance of school at home. What can we do to encourage parents to encourage their kids. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Maybe host more parent teacher events in the classroom or activities that involve the parent that can be fun. Also at parent teacher conferences talk to the parent privately and let them know how their attitude affects their children but not to the point where it could seem like you're "attacking" the parents. Let them know the benefits of having their children try their best in school and realize how valuing education is good for them all.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: If you come at a parent like that they will feel attacked. We don't know unless the parent actually says they don't care. Rated On: October 14, 2018 2:49 pm Rated By: byXyha
