They state that there is too much homework and their child can't possibly get it all done. They state that you as the teacher expect far too much. How do you handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would pull state expectations and my expectations to show the parents. Parents do not see the other side of teaching.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: yes it may be helpful to show the parents the state standards to show the reasoning behind what the teacher is doing Rated On: October 19, 2014 2:16 am Rated By: uZyvaP                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original No Comments: Although true, I do not think this solution is helpful to the case study at hand.

It seems to be a time management issue for the student.

As the teacher you might not realize that you might actually be giving too much homework but you will never know unless you ask the parents and the students. As always the parent might just be complaining because they might not know how to help the child with the homework or wants to go do something with the child but has to do their homework first and the parents does not like that. My suggestion would be to not just jump to the conclusion that you as the teacher are right but listen to what the parent has to say as well.
