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!) There are rules expected to be followed in the classroom and when those expectations are not met, consequences follow. I would explain that this students grade will suffer if the work is not completed. It sounds harsh but the same expectations must be kept for all students. Teachers should be understanding and there can be exceptions for example if an email is sent about a death in the family, a divorce, an emergency, etc. Deadlines may be extended and extra credit opportunities may be given but if this behavior is bad enough to warrant a meeting, these parents may need to seek professional counsel.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This is true, however, if there are underlying issues then this will not work.

Yes, rules need to be followed but if the student is acting out in class and towards their parents, then perhaps there is an alternate reason why it is happening, such as an underlying condition.

Students need to be respected, but when there is an ongoing issue with no change, there will need to be outside resources to help. Professional counseling could have a positive impact on this student's future.

Working with them to get to a viable solution would be harder, but it will be a more meaningful way to find a way to correct the student's behavior.

Not every student is the same and not everyone should be treated and their situations handled the same way.

Obviously this student is having a difficult time adjusting to expectations so it might be best to create a system that takes away something the student values instead.
