Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Divorced and double One of my students has parents that are divorced. Each parent wants two sets of every paper I send home. This includes homework. I can tell that each parent wants to be the main parent and have the student do all of the homework with them. I can tell that the student does not like this because she is now having to do double the homework. Do I say something to the parents or just stay out. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would tell the student to only do one sheet. If the parents keep making her do both, then there isn't anything that you could do.I would make the parents happy and then talk to guidance or something. I definitely would help her out.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This seems as though you are asking the student to defy her parents.

This is basically avoiding the problem. Their daughter has probably expressed to her parents that there is no need to complete two sets of the same homework assignment. Focusing soley on making the parents happy in this situation can have negative reprecussions on the student in this teachers class. Rated On: February 27, 2015 10:25 pm Rated By: uVataS
