Case: pushy parents
There was a student in my class who had very overly involved parents. They insisted that their daughter stay after school three days a week to do extra tutoring with me even though she was already at the top of the class and did not need the extra help. they would also email me several times during the day wanting updates on how their daughter was doing. This was eating up huge portions of my time that I needed to spend with other students who need extra help. What would be a good way to deal with this situation.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In the beginning of the year, you need to lay out very clear guidelines for your parents. For instance:
I provide after-school help for students who are not meeting standards.
I will return emails within a 24 hour time period.
I am available to meet with parents during the following hours to discuss your child's progress. Ect...
It is always easier to prevent a problem than fix one. In the meantime, make a document that illustrates exactly how the student is doing in your class. In addition, add all of the ways you differentiate instruction for her and other students at her level. I like to send home weekly reports that show parents how their child is performing. It is simple to create an excel chart that will make graphs and charts for you. Parents just need constant reassurance that their child is doing ok.
