Case: When parents want control
A student in a high school gifted class has teetered between passing and not passing all year long. Most of his assignments are turned in late and done haphazardly. In a teacher/parent conference, the parents want to take complete control over the situation and ask that all assignments and due dates be emailed to them regularly so that they can make sure their son completes them. Little to no accountability is being placed on the teen. Do you sit idly by and go with their requests, or do you suggest a way to place some of the responsibility on the student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Sometimes it is better to work with the parents and give in a little to get what you want. Try giving the parents what they want, emailing them the assignments, but with a timeline where you will phase out the parent email as the student becomes more independent. |

Comments: I think this is a great solution. Sometimes the parents need to be involved and then they need to let their children be a little more independent. |

Comments: I like this because it slowly builds up the responsibility of the student while decreasing the role of the parents to make sure home work assignments get done. |

Comments: If the student were in elementary or middle school then this would be useful, but by high school the student needs to be independent and accountable. |
