Case: The Over-involved Parent
The mother of one of the students in your third grade class left twenty-minute messages on his voice mail every day. Listening to them consumed your entire free period. She would also show up at your school unexpectedly. You would walk into your classroom and find her waiting to speak with you. What actions would you take in order to prevent this happening?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would gladly explain to her that I am pleased to see a parent so involved in the education of her child. I would explain how her child will benefit from her involvement, but from my experience, over-involvement will lead to difficulties between the student, parent, and teacher in the future. I would ask her to please let me know when she would like to come in and volunteer in my classroom and that I would be more than willing to have her present in my classroom. However, I would limit it to 1-2 days per week, or during special events. I would thank her for all her thoughts and suggestions, but would emphasize that I have a job to do, and that extra help can be a distraction. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution because it does not try to keep the mother from helping or being involved but it does help to reduce it. Also, it might be helpful to let her know that emails are better and that you will respond to them when you have the free time. |

| Comments: Communicating with the parent in the regard could create a hostile situation to form between the parent and teacher. Also the approach could be seen as aggressive/snarky and that would not create a great bond between the teacher - parent, which would lead to worse issues. |

| Comments: I do not agree with the parent volunteering in the classroom 1-2 times a week. The student will become dependent on their parent being in class with them. |
