You are staying after school hours to do some last minute grading and inputting grades into the system. A parent enters your room and demands to speak to you about their child's recent test grade of a "c". The parent claims that this test score will lower their child's current grade standing of an "A" to a "B" and this is unacceptable. After a long conversation that parent requests that you change their child's grade. What would you do in this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try and get the parent to come back and get an appointment for a meeting that fits both of our schedules. The next thing to do would be to gather advice from the more senior teachers as they may have some experience with such parents. In the end I would still refuse the parents request and provide reasoning for my doing so.                 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 idea Rated On: March 7, 2016 2:52 am Rated By: nick morse
