Case: Parent Doesn't Care
I was a long-term sub at a high school and was helping a clerk in the office. It was 3 weeks before school got out for summer break and she was calling the parents of students who missed the FSA testing and needed to make it up. There was a parent of a student she was talking to who wasn't present in school that day. She explained to him how his child needs this test as a graduation requirement and that it is extremely important that they come in to take it. She even told him his daughter did not have to stay at school for the whole day, she just really needs to come in and take the exam. He responded to the clerk that he could ask her if she wants to come take the test. The clerk looked at me with a confused look when he said that. He then said that she doesn't feel like going into school and left it at that. I am not a parent but I would not go and ask my child if they want to go to school to take an exam that is required for them to graduate later on. They would immediately be going to school and take it. How would you handle a situation like this with a parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is tough because as the teacher you are hoping that parents are there to back you up and enforce what is being taught etc. I would assure the student is missing a lot of school, so there should be a meeting help to discuss with the parent the repercussions of missing exams and school but also a meeting to help the parents better set expectations. |
