  Case: parent advice
A second grade teacher has a student who has exhibited very disruptive and bad behaviors in previous grades. He has been placed in an inclusion classroom with a very strict teacher who has had success with students exhibiting these types of behaviors. The child has no behavior problems in the classroom. The parent is now confronting the teacher wanting help chaining his bad behaviors at home. What advice should the teacher give to the parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
School and home are two completely different environments. The teachers is really only able to share classroom strategies that may or may not work at home. The teacher should refer the parent to the counselor who may be able to better assist him or her and even refer the family to an outisde counseling agency, if neccessary.

Comments: I agree, the environment from school and home are very different. What works well in the classroom may never work at home. The classroom is more structured and the parent will need to be aware the strategies may not work for them at home. Referring to the counselor or outside agency may be very helpful as well.

Comments: I agree. While the teacher can definently share their tactics for dealing with the child, these tactics are for the classroom and are not gaurenteed to work the same in the home.

Comments: I agree. The teacher doesn't need to comment on something outside of his scope of practice. This could get him into trouble. Referring the parent to the school counselor would be best
