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 said the right thing to the parent. I would have certainly contacted my supervisor. I wonder why your CT was not concerned due to that being a very concerning situation.                 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 don't understand why the CT wasn't worried.
