Case: Over protective parents
When the first day of school rolls around, many parents are eager to have their children start school. 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!)
I would make it a habit to send home test grades on Fridays, this could be a simple Friday Folder concept. Have the parents review the grades and initial each one. This will not work for some parents but for the ones that are very involved, they will like knowing where their child is on a weekly basis. You could have that particular parent be the helper on Friday's to put this folder together for you. You will be grading the papers anyway so it would hopefully be an easy step to stick them in the folder. I would be sure to write down the grades prior to them going home in case some tests do not make it back to school. |

Comments: I really like the folder idea, it also helps to keep things organized and it's always good for parents to see their child's work, especially if they have questions on why they got certain grades. |

Comments: I think it is an excellent idea to have a Concept Folder that the parents signs that has assignments graded and what they have in the class at that time. It is important to keep the parents informed because they want to know how their child is doing just like you would as a parent. I feel that doing something like this would ease the stress off the teacher as well as the parent. I would definitely do something like this in my future classroom! |
