He warned not to do this and receives disciplinary marks. When the parent is connected about the issues the response is "He can leave class whenever he wants to and will not get into trouble at home for doing so." What is a possible solution for this problem? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I know that most parents are true to the rule, "When you live under my roof, then you do as I say." I know this sounds harsh, but my classroom, my rules. I would probably check with my administration to see if they support my rule or if they feel that the parent's wishes trump mine, but if they support me then I would stick with whatever rule was implemented from the beginning. Of course exceptions can always be made for documented medical conditions but other than that students and parents must be reasonable.                 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: Great solution!
