  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!)
Tell the parent they aren't allowed to come to the school anymore unless they have a scheduled appointment.

Comments: I do not think this is the best solution to this common problem, telling the parent this could cause them to get angry and make the situation even worse. Parents have a right to be at the school and ask questions about their child.

Comments: I do not agree with this solution and I would not recommend this. The teacher cannot tell the parent that they need a reason to visit the campus, especially if their child is attending that school.

Comments: It is never a good idea for a teacher to tell a parent that they cannot do something. You really need to have that come from someone higher up that is trained to deal with concerned parents.
