  Case: Difficult mom
Mom comes to class right before class is to start. She starts to complain that her son does not have good grades in class. She has refused to email me back but then shows up at class door. She explains that her son was a football practice and that is why he cannot study and complete assessments.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you explain her son can not play sports if he is not passing, and also that you can help tutor him if he creates the time.

Comments: This is a terrible solution because it is assuming it is a school sport, and as a teacher, you cannot punish by taking away a sport unless it is a school policy.

Comments: Overall I don't see this solution realistically being effective. Instead I feel that this wording/tone would cause the parents and student to become defensive. I think it would be best to offer a variety of solutions, as well as tutoring, to see how to best allow your student to succeed.
