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!)
Dealing with "pushy parents" can be a very "sticky" situation. First, you need to be thankful that the parents are involved with their child's schooling; even though it may be "overboard". If I was in this situation, I was handle it this way:
* discuss with the parents your beliefs that the child is not in need of extra help. However, if they insist, tell them you would be more than happy to tutor their child. Give them specific times you can tutor and make them abide to those limits.
* when it comes to updates on the student throughout the day, I would contact the parents and explain to them that you cannot spend the time continuously emailing them. Set up specific times where you can (planning, lunch, end-of-day) contact them with the updates.
If the parents cannot adhere to those desires, then refer them to an administrator at the school who can help them with their troubles. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution. As you stated it is nice to see parents that are involved with their child's schooling. I also agree that the teacher should establish available times for both tutoring and communication, as the teacher needs to be teaching and focusing on other students as well. |
