  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!)
It is always best to try to establish a positive relationship with the parents, even if they are annoying. As overbearing as this is, I think it is a good thing that the parent is choosing to have an active role in their child's education. They seem to feel like they aren't being heard in their child's education and just wants someone to collaborate with them. I would communicate with this parent that you are very busy and can't spend each morning discussing their child's education, because then each parent in the class would expect the same. Offer to schedule specific times with the parent to discuss their child and reiterate that you are doing your best to provide the best opportunities for their child.
