Case: The parent who is overzealous at open house
You carefully go over your notes and scan the entire classroom. Everything is in order. You have taken time to plan well, and you are certain this open house will go smoothly. You've barely started your presentation when you see a hand go up. You politely answer the father's question regarding his daughter. A few minutes later, he has another question focused on his child. Again, you politely answer his query. Pretty soon, you see the same parent's hand go up again and again, along with a question pertaining only to his daughter. How would you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Before open house is even scheduled, as the teacher I would create an agenda as to how open house will go. I will write the schedule, and make sure to include times and topics that will be covered. I will make sure to include a 30 minute period that will be open for questions, comments, or concerns.
I will also be sure to give each parent a notepad, or sheet of paper with a pen so that they can take notes, and jot down any questions they could have during the time that I am covering key points. I will also verbally express to the parents that questions will be taken at the end. Hopefully after having a visual, and verbal reading of the agenda, the parents can hold all of their questions for the end. |

Comments: I think it's a great idea to provide the parents with paper and a pen so they can jot down their questions and comments and raise them at the end, when they won't be a distraction. |
