Case: Rude Parents
Mrs. Smith has a student in her class whose mother is very religious. She is very open in discussing her thoughts and beliefs at a conference, in a letter, or during a phone call. Her child misbehaved and was given a punishment for 10 minutes off of recess. The mother contacted the teacher the next day and instead of speaking about the punishment she began her religious banter which included telling the teacher that she was 'keeping her eye on her' and that she needed to 'get right in her religious life.' At one point the parent even sent a link to a YouTube video that talked about how Monster energy drinks are the 'devils juice' because the teacher drinks that brand. What should Mrs. Smith do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Smith should not engage with this parent in any of her banter, she should remain professional. If I were Mrs. Smith, I would first begin by showing my principal and/or other administration the email that the parent sent. This way if the situation does escalate, someone is aware of what has been happening beforehand. I would then respond to the email and explain the reasoning for the child's punishment, referring back to classroom and school rules. Mrs. Smith should not even acknowledge the other comments or the link that was sent in the email. |
