  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!)
This can be very frustrating to a teacher that has many other students to give attention to. I've had this problem before and I did keep regular contact with the parent, but I also just simply come up with some system that once a week, an update will be sent to them informing them of their child's update, and any assignments that will be sent home will be in a designated folder for that particular child. Any parent should understand that all attention can not go their child because we have many other students. If that doesn't work, maybe a meeting should be directed to the grade level Assistant principal.
