Case: Parents demand student progress when running into them in public
During my first internship I ran into the parents of one of my students while shopping at a grocery store. They were very involved parents so they knew who I was from all of the meetings I had sat in on with them and my CT. I politely said hello as I passed them and kept on shopping. I ran into them 2 aisles over and they asked me how their child was doing in class, and what grade their students had received on 2 tests that week. They also wanted to know how there child was doing socially because there had been some issues with a few other students. I said there child was a delight to work with, but those questions would be better answered by the teacher. They became instantly angry and actually followed me to another isle still asking questions. I explained to them that I was the intern and I wasn't even allowed to discuss anything with them and to talk to the teacher Monday. I quickly walked away to the other side of the store, left my cart, and walked out. I told my CT about it, but she didn't seem concerned. Should I have told my college supervisor about it, and should I have handled it differently?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You did the right thing in not getting into any details at the store. I believe it is alright to let the parents know that is not the right setting to be demanding that information, and as you also stated you are not the right person to give those answers. It is alright to greet the parents and the student outside of school, but they also need to respect your space outside of the school setting. |

| Comments: I agree this solution is the best way to handle the problem. Being an intern that is confronted by aggressive parents there should have been support from the teacher. I think going to the supervisor will help solve the problem. |

| Comments: You the intern are without a doubt not able to properly answer these questions and your private time is by far the least appropriate time to discuss them. |

| Comments: I think this is the best response to the situation, the details should be avoided in case there is any misinformation or lack of details. The teacher can offer to provide information at a later date or in the school setting but not in the grocery store. |
