They think their child does not lie and will never intentionally hurt or make fun of someone else. The Principal has even brought this up to the attention of the parent. The parent is quick to blame the actions on other students instead of their child. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would ask permission to video the student in class so that the parents can see their students in the act of these behaviors. The video would speak for its self, if the parent's still do not believe after watching the video that is another story. I would also see if the parent could sit in the teachers office for a period of time without the student knowing so they could witness the student's behavior first hand.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would try to video the misbehavior as well. The parent cannot deny what's right in front of them.

Due to this, I would say this is not the best solution. Rated On: October 10, 2022 6:00 pm Rated By: Xetuzu
