  Case: Gifted program
In a school district beginning a gifted and talented program, a teacher must choose four students to recommend for the program from her class, but she has five potential candidates. The parent of one of the students has threatened her if she does not recommend his daughter.
How should she respond?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is important that this teacher notifies her administrator of the parental threats. During this meeting I would also explain to the administrator that there are five potential students who would benefit and excel in the gifted program and see if the principal can offer any insight on how to narrow down the candidates, sans the influence of the threats.
