How do you handle this situation? Should me as a teacher say something to that parent? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Like a lot of other said, I would communicate this issue to the parent. I would explain how it disrupts the class and how extra time is needed for the student to catch up. If the issue continues, I would try multiple attempts to talk to the parent and then I would reach out to other teachers and administrators to see what they think is the next best course of action. Since tardies are counted, administrators should be informed but having a specific conversation about this student, would be helpful.
