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!) I agree that home and school are two different environments. However, I like that the parent is soliciting some advice from the teacher. In some instances, teachers spend more time a day with students than their parents. I think that the teacher should inform the parent to be consistent and firm with the child. I have a student, who is angel at school and her parent informed me in a meeting that she is not that way at home. The parent realized that she has spoiled her daughter by giving her everything she wants without making her work for it. At school, we challenge the student to take ownership of their own actions. In addition, I do not think counseling is a bad idea because some of the child's behavior could be do to some things going on deeper at home.                 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 that parents and teacher should work together because if a teacher was having problems with the student in the class the teacher would reach out to the parent. I see no issue with the parent getting tips from the teacher. Great advice. Rated On: October 19, 2014 11:40 pm Rated By: Lauren Hill
