Case: The report card
The day after reports cards go home, a parent calls you, upset, saying "My child received straight A's on her last report card at her other school. Now it's mostly B's and C's." She wants to know what is going on? Why didn't you let me know? We need to meet immediately to discuss this problem, I am sick and tired of this school system failing my child. How would you approach this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would welcome the parents into my classroom, and would prepare notes for discussion. I would begin the meeting by asking what is concerning them, and would being my reply by stating how great of a child they have. I would also apologize for any struggles they may have had with the school system in the past, but claim that I am wanting to do my best to change their minds on that matter. I would state that I want to see their child do their best, and if a weekly report card or phone call home would be beneficial to them or their child, then I would be all for it. I would then listen to any suggestions, comments, concerns that they may have and come to an agreement with them for a successful rest of the school year. Lastly, I would thank them for taking their time to help their child succeed in school, and vow to do the best I can to see the same. |

| Comments: I think by always being prepared will help the teacher provide more feedback ahead of time to the parent that is upset by the situation. I believe reassuring them by having some type of solution like having a phone call home or a weekly report card would be helpful. I like the way the teacher plans on thanking the parent and also explaining that she will do her best to help is a good way to reassure the open door communication and dedication to all parties involved. |

| Comments: I think it is important to have the parent come in so you can talk to the parent about the situation. I would try and explain the way the school system works and apologize for any struggles they might have had in the past with the system. I think it is a great idea to ask the parent if it would be beneficial for the teacher to make a weekly progress report or a phone call home to keep the parent informed and to let them know that you care for their child as well. |

As students continue to learn sometimes the subjects may become a bit harder than they were last year.I also like the idea of weekly report cards/phone calls to inform the parent about their child learning experience. |
