Case: Sporting Parent
During the school athletics carnival a parent confronts you regarding the finish placing of their child. They are quite vocal, you are working to a strict timetable and they believe you made a mistake and want the race re-run. What course of action do you take?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would definitely re-evaluate to see if I had made any mistakes. If so, I could explain myself to the kids and try a re-run. If 100% positive that I did not make a mistake, I can let the parent know (in a respectful way) that this was just a race, and that not being the winner is a good thing for kids to experience. Losing is a lot harder than winning, and it is good for kids to experience this. I could also mention that there is always a next time, and that practice makes perfect! |

Comments: I agree that re-evaluation is necessary but I would probably not make the comments you included in your ideas. Instead I would just explain to the parent that everything was fair and that you double checked for them. |

Comments: I do not agree with this. I do not feel the race should be rerun because one parent is unhappy with how their child placed. |

Comments: I do not agree. It is only supposed to be a fun race and the dad took it way out of proportion with the competition. |
