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!) Quick solution for anyone reading these case studies in the present. If parents and/or guardians are doing this today in the era of COVID-19, remind them of school procedures and explain that you cannot do whatever it is your district does not allow. Some districts do not allow face-to-face contact at all, my district does not allow anyone not invited on campus (the only other guest I've seen while interning was another woman taking part in her practicum for guidance counselor). Outside of solutions dependent on today's setting, would it be possible to give the parents what they want? Don't stop class for them right that moment but write a generic letter for parents for protocol for how to schedule a meeting and hand it to them whenever they arrive. This makes it easier for everyone involved because you have an opportunity to speak with parents despite them coming at the worst time and they can still have a meeting when convenient for them. |
