Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Parents Overstepping Boundaries I recently emailed a parent about her child not completing her homework. The parent responded and said, "I know. When I dropped her off for Early Bird (our before school program), we looked in her desk and found her homework there". This told me that the parent went in my classroom 1) without my permission and 2) when I was not there. I feel this was wrong. I do not know who allowed them to walk the halls before hours, but other children's information could have been out, the parent could have gone through my things, anything could have happened. I have started locking my doors, and taking the key; I know teachers can be sneaky as well. Am I wrong for going to this extent? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I feel that the parent going in the classroom without consent from you as the teacher is wrong and sneaky. I feel that the parent should have contacted you about wanting to look in the chid's desk first. I also feel that you should keep your door lock when you are not present in the room. This keeps not only your things safe but the students things safe as well. So no i feel you are most definetly not in the wrong.
