Case: The irate mother
A fourth-grade girl misses a unit test in history that you administered on Friday. You tell her that she can't make it up during class but that she can make it up after school. The next morning, the irate mother calls the principal and says that (a) you are unfair; (b) staying late after school will cause her daughter to miss the bus; (c) there is no other transportation to the girl's home; (d) it is unsafe for a girl her age to walk that distance alone; (e) there is no money for a taxi or other transportation; and (f) there is no family car. The mother wants the test to be given at the lunch hour. What are your thoughts about what you might do in this particular situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a tough situation but as a teacher it is important to be fair and flexible. If the parent does not feel comfortable with the child taking it after school, I would personally be okay wit h student taking it during the lunch hour. It may be a good idea to change the test format or questions to make it fair since the student got extra time to study. Come up with a solution that both parties will agree upon. |

| Comments: I would not do this, I would not make this test any harder than the others because you don't know if the student did study in the extra time. I t is just a chance you will have to take. |

| Comments: I agree with you except change the test. Give the child the test during lunch, but they need to take the same test and have the same standards as other students. |
