  Case: Accusations
A student goes home saying that the teacher constantly picks on them, that the teacher hates them and that the teacher never allows them to answer a question. The parent comes in accusing you of picking on their child in front of others and they want the child moved to another classroom. How do you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would calmly tell the parent that I treat every student equally. As a professional, I do not "pick" on students or hate them. Every student is allowed to answer questions. The only instance in which I would not allow them to answer a question is if they spoke out of turn or exhibited rude behavior. I would have a conference with the parent and the administration about the parent's desire to move the child to a different classroom.
