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!) Inform the parent that there is no event coming up that would need volunteers. Should one come up, figure out how many parents you want to volunteer and only allow that many and no extras. When they ask why they werent chosen to volunteer you can let them know there are only a certain number of volunteers per event and you want to give other parents opportunities to be in the class as well. I would inform admin on the situation and let them know you would rather them not volunteer in your class.
