However, when I have allowed her to, I have noticed she isn't very kind to the students. How do I politely decline her requests to volunteer in the future? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would first go and consult this matter with the principle before taking any actions of speaking with the parent and see what they say as naturally we cannot have a parent participation that affects the students learning and well being. I would simple tell her that their is no need for any volunteering.
