  Case: Parent interactions
What should I do if I have parents who do not have the time to care about their children? I have seen cases where parents get angry at the teacher for even calling them. I also have seen cases where parents "don't care" what their students are up to in school. What are some solutions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I recommend you alert the administration of the difficulty and ask them to be present for future phone conversations. Next, I would consider changing the method of communication. Since phone calls are ineffective, I suggest email, notes sent home with the student, or scheduling parent-teacher conferences. I have seen a handful of cases where the parents/guardians did not seem to care what their students were doing but did not understand the material. I recommend implementing Home-Fun Activities for the students to complete with their parents. Even if it is a minor assignment, it can be an easy way to engage parents with their students learning.

Comments: I really like the idea of sending home homework that requires the parents to be involved so they engage more in their child's learning. Communication is so important, so trying more than one method is very smart in order to get their attention.
