Case: The Uncooperative Parent
Sandra Hall*, a high school art teacher, received a call from the mother of one of her students. The mother requested an extension on her daughter's art project. The project was due the same day as an Advanced Placement exam, which the mother considered a higher priority. Ms. Hall said she could not make an exception for the student. Displeased that Ms. Hall refused to honor her request, the parent scoffed, "This is art, not brain surgery." in a phone conversation with the teacher. How "as a teacher" would you follow up after this statement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would tell the parent that it would not be fair to extend the deadline for just her student as other students are working hard on the assignment. Although the subject may not be important to her, it is important to me and many other students. Also, I would stress that I can not make a habit out making deadline extensions as that would also been unfair. |
