  Case: Behavior
The parents come to me and tell me that they have no control over their student. They tell me they cannot force him to do work or to even be respectful in class. The whole conversation the student is playing on his phone laughing at his parents.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would explain to the student and the parents that while there may not be any rules at home, there are rules and expectations in class and consequences for not complying. You must be prepared to enforce the consequences, so make sure they're reasonable and appropriate. I would ask the student to opine on why he/she isn't doing the work or being respectful in class. Attempt to get to the root of the problem and that may help with the solution.

Comments: I definitely agree with this. While a student may not have rules at home there will be rules in the classroom. I think establishing rules the from day one is very important because it sets the tone on how rules and disciplinary actions are done in the classroom and how the classroom will run. So that not only are the students are aware of the rules but also the parents. A great time to inform parents of the rules and regulations of the classroom would be at open house.

Comments: I enjoyed reading the last part of finding the root of the problem. I believe that kids do not have problems, parents do. I also enjoyed pointing out the contrast between having rules in the classroom even though there are no rules implemented at home.

Comments: Overall, I find this solution to be the best because the root of the problem is what is causing the negative behavior. By having an open conversation, involving the parents, the student can be made clearly aware of the situation and possible consequences.
