However, there are a few parents are not willing to let their children go. This can be a fine thread to walk. You must handle the situation very lightly. A student in my 3rd grade class was in this exact situation. His parents were constantly calling in asking how he was doing and how his grades were? At what point do you just say "wait for the report cards." Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Maybe you can keep a record so that they can check them online whenever they want. A polite letter letting them know how many students you have might be necessary. Some parents just don't realize their unnecessary behavior unless someone explains it to them. At least they're involved and they care. See if they would like to volunteer in the classroom or do put together things at home (if you don't want them in the classroom).                 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 think bringing attention to the parents behavior is a positive thing. Many parents may not realize that their behavior is becoming distracting, and allowing them to see that it is may cause them to pull back a bit. Rated On: February 22, 2015 4:05 pm Rated By: ugeBeS
