  Case: Just not hard enough
The parent contacts you stating that following. Parent : I don't think you are making the class work hard enough. My child hardly ever has homework and I think you are dumbing down the curriculum because there are some trouble-makers and ‘Special Education' students in the class. How would you approach this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Suggest that the child gets put into another class if the grades show what the parents are saying. In a co taught class, things have to go at a slower pace, but we must also have extension activities for those students who are known for finishing early. Also, give the parent some at home resources that the child can go on each night to review concepts taught in class. Maybe that particular child can go a level up on the homework each night.
