  Case: Approached while out
You are out at a store and a parent come up to you and starts trying to discuss students grades and class behavior. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In this situation, I think you politely tell the parent that you'd be happy to discuss their child's grades and behavior at a more appropriate, mutually agreed upon time. You can indicate that you need to gather materials and examples to have a meaningful conversation. You can tell the parent that you will reach out (via phone, email, or whatever communication has been decided) and give them multiple date/time options for the meeting. Be sure to follow up withe the parent timely to get the meeting scheduled.

Comments: I think this is a great solution. Out of school hours is your time and it is inappropriate for a parent to try and come up to you while you are grocery shopping or running errands trying to discuss their child's academics.
