The mother requested an extension on her daughter's art project. The project was due the same day as an Advanced Placement exam, which the mother considered a higher priority. Ms. Hall said she could not make an exception for the student. Displeased that Ms. Hall refused to honor her request, the parent scoffed, "This is art, not brain surgery." in a phone conversation with the teacher. How "as a teacher" would you follow up after this statement? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) i would advise the parent that even though she may not value art, your class does and it isn't fair that she gets an extension while the rest of the class doesn't.                 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: While i do agree partially, I think discussing issues with a parent you have to be a little empathic, as they only want their child to do the best they possibly can.
