  Case: Worried Parents
I have received a few emails from parents concerning their children. The children that they are concerned about are the ones that are well behaved and have outstanding grades. I have high expectations for my students but I feel that the parents are being a bit over-bearing by being concerned about a 90% on a test. It is a wonderful thing that they are involved and expect perfect scores but I am struggling with how I am going to say, "your child is doing fine" without offending them. I feel that they will disagree with me and continue to worry.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that a good option is to set up parent teacher conferences with the parents who are having concerns with their child's grades. This gives the parent the opportunity to express their concern to you.
