Case: These parents?
An interviewee is being spoken to about a possible job position at her child's school. She was a parent before she became a candidate. The principal asked the candidate, "are you sure you can work with these parents?". The candidate knew exactly what he meant, as she was one of those parents. Those parents are extremely involved and have very high expectations and a very loud voice with a far community outreach. That question could go one or two ways. How would you respond?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That is an EXTREMELY unprofessional comment for an administrator to make! Whether you were a parent or not! I would explain that my priority as an educator is the safety and education of the students, and that I would deal with parental issues only when they arise. I would also state that you were not going to pre-judge the parents of students that you had not even met. |

| Comments: I think this is the worst response, the question is valid. In my opinion answering this question well proves that the parent has the ability to work with other parents who might have different ideas. |
