Parent : My child is not challenged—I believe they are gifted and the school should be accelerated. What can you do for my child? How do you handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The teacher will gladly set up an appointment face to face and promptly to appease the parents. Before the meeting however, the teacher will have data from test scores and grades and work samples from the student. This will either put the issue to rest or set up a situation for advancement. The teacher will also have possible solutions ready to present to the parents and suggest that they both begin documentation on progress, setting a goal and time to reconvene on the topic.                 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: I agree, making the parents happy is something that you as a teacher should do so that they are not constantly bothering you. Prove and bring what you need to, to discuss your side. Documentation is important! Rated On: February 25, 2015 3:06 am Rated By: Autumn Carroll
