  Case: Annoying Parents
How do you deal with a parent that comes two hours early everyday and wants to talk to you about their child and if it's not you it's administration and all of you have explained to that parent that school is not out yet so it is impossible to speak with them every single day but the parent is upset and feels like no one wants to collaborate with her on her child's day. Now the day of that child is in his planner and she has every opportunity to talk with the teacher or administration staff after school barring that there are no meetings we have to attend?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is understandable that parents want to be involved in their child's life, however, it can be annoying when they want to be over-involved. I think a good compromise would be to send the child home weekly with a note for the parents explaining everything that happened during the week, it might be beneficial to also have the child write their parents a note about the best and worst parts of their week so that it can be a conversation starter for the parents to talk with their child.

Comments: While this may help a bit, this parent seems to value face to face discussion and the note may not be enough for them. They may still want to have that conversation with the teacher and the administration.
