Case: "My daughter sits with all boys?"
At the beginning of the school year I had my desks in groups of three to four. I had a parent email me and explain that her daughter felt bullied because she was a table with all boys. The table consisted of her daughter and two other boys. I tried to explain that the desks were in groups of three and one gender would out weigh the other. She did not seem to understand. What would you say to a parent if this happened to you?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This has happened to me personally. I teach middle school music/guitar. In my classes, it is obvious that I have to move students around based on ability level. I have had complaints because there was one boy sitting with all girls, or vice versa. I simply explain to parents that they are placed based on their ability and grade level during our performing ensembles. Gender plays absolutely no part in my decision to place students. Generally, as long as parents know you aren't singling their child out in an unfair situation, they are more open-minded. |

Comments: If you believe that the parent won't get mad about the ability level aspect, I think this is completely reasonable. |
