  Case: Annoying Parents
How do you deal with a parent that comes two hours early everyday and wants to talk to you about their child and if it's not you it's administration and all of you have explained to that parent that school is not out yet so it is impossible to speak with them every single day but the parent is upset and feels like no one wants to collaborate with her on her child's day. Now the day of that child is in his planner and she has every opportunity to talk with the teacher or administration staff after school barring that there are no meetings we have to attend?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could send an email to the parents discussing the student's day--almost like an anecdotal note. Also, you can schedule one meeting a month with the parent(s) where you can talk about their concerns.
