  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!)
I don't think this is your fault, and they should not expect you to talk about school outside of the education setting.

Comments: This response was not the best in that it did not give any solution to the problem other than state their opinion. The response should have given a suggestion and provided the teacher with some advice/
