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!)
Parents should be made aware, politely, that anything school related should be handled during meetings set up between them and the teacher, not the intern. I think you handled this situation the best you could and you could not control their unfortunate behavior. Sadly the teacher did not take much interest either because that is who should correct the problem and have a discussion about the procedures that need to be followed for the best interest of everyone. Discussing this with your college supervisor would be the best choice so you are not dealing with this alone and if this comes again you will know what you need to do. |

Comments: I agree that it is probably best if you speak to your supervisor about this. It is a shame that teachers have to brace themselves for this kind of situation, as these things are best discussed in a classroom setting, but teachers deserves their free time where they are not obligated to go into school or grades at the store.
absolutely right that it isn't even the responsibility or authority of the intern to address any of that information and they were right to be stern.

| Comments: I definitely agree that it can be difficult to manage these types of situations at times but it should of been addressed by the teacher. Parents should also be aware that situations like this should be addressed in a personal meeting not at a grocery store! |
