  Case: New teacher, New school
A fairly novice teacher, teaching 2 years, moves to a new state and maintains a job over a phone interview.
This teacher a young middle class female is placed in a school with a high African American student body. The students at this school come from homes with one parent. There are cases of drug use in the house, boyfriends in and out of the home and very absent parents when it came to the school. When the mothers did come to the school it was usually a hostile situation and most of the time the parent was yelling at this young teacher.
The teacher knew that it was not at all the fault of the child and wanted to send a message to the parents that she wanted to partner with the parents for the sake of their shared student. How would the teacher reach that goal?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Positive parental contact is very important. Most of the time, parents only receive negative phone calls or notes regarding their children. Mix it up and tell the parents when their child did something good.

Comments: This is a good idea, but if the parents do not want to particpate they are not going to, I think that finding someone else that can help the child during the time they are home like a sibling or a grandparent would be more beneficial to the student.
