Case: Rude Parents
Mrs. Smith has a student in her class whose mother is very religious. She is very open in discussing her thoughts and beliefs at a conference, in a letter, or during a phone call. Her child misbehaved and was given a punishment for 10 minutes off of recess. The mother contacted the teacher the next day and instead of speaking about the punishment she began her religious banter which included telling the teacher that she was 'keeping her eye on her' and that she needed to 'get right in her religious life.' At one point the parent even sent a link to a YouTube video that talked about how Monster energy drinks are the 'devils juice' because the teacher drinks that brand. What should Mrs. Smith do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Smith is an adult and can let the parent's comments roll down her back. There will be people in our lives that we cannot stand, but also cannot get rid of. If it goes too far, and the comments cannot be ignored anymore, contact the administration and have them assist in dealing with the obnoxious parent. Eventually the student will move on and the teacher will not have to deal with the mother anymore, or the mother will take it too far, and cross a line that the administration will be willing to do something about it. But, mostly, Mrs. Smith needs to have a thick skin. This profession is one where teacher need to deal with parents that are obnoxious, offensive, and rude. |
