  Case: Parents that act like their child
I have many young parents that act similar to their children that I am usually calling home about due to some behavior. I have a child who never does homework or returns signed papers. When calling his mother, she said I would need to mail her everything in order to get it back because her son doesn't give her anything. How absurd is this comment? How should I communicate with this parent? Half of the time the phone has been disconnected.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This happens all the time where I work. The best thing you can do would be to mail important papers, such as grade reports, and other paperwork that must be signed. Usually, if I have trouble getting in touch with a parent, I will contact an administrator and they usually have better luck somehow.

Comments: Contact an administrator. As a teacher, you are doing your part by making an attempt to contact. Whether or not that is successful or not is beyond your control. There comes a point where it is time to get an administrator involved.
