  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!)
In today's world, parents are younger and younger. And, unfortunately, when speaking with those young parents, I see where much of my student behavior is modeled from. In addition to possibly mailing the papers that you wish to have signed, I would scan a copy and email the papers. In my school, I can scan on the copy machine and it will send a PDF file of the scan to my computer. I email the parents of my students regularly. I feel that I get more feedback and am better able to communicate with them through this format than any other. Additionally, because the younger and older generation are so connected with cellular devices, I would use a service like remind101.com to send homework reminders to parents. You may see an increase in the number of assignments your students turn in by keeping the parents connected using this platform.

Comments: I like how you directly stated a tool that is offered today that educators can use now. However, I disagree that younger parents should be targeted for behavior in students. Instead there is just some parents who are not attending to the student how they need to be or it is just a strong willed child. Instead, it is the educators job to work with the parents and find the best way to attend to the issues apparent.
