Case: pushy parents There was a student in my class who had very overly involved parents. They insisted that their daughter stay after school three days a week to do extra tutoring with me even though she was already at the top of the class and did not need the extra help. they would also email me several times during the day wanting updates on how their daughter was doing. This was eating up huge portions of my time that I needed to spend with other students who need extra help. What would be a good way to deal with this situation. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I currently have a student that has a 99 in my class and insists on taking every redo, turning in any extra credit, and coming to all of the tutoring that I offer. Her parents are not overly involved which makes the situation a bit easier, but I can certainly relate. While I agree with some of the other posts about establishing boundaries with the parents and setting up specific tutoring times, etc. What I would add is that you can use this student to help other students during the tutoring sessions. I have used my student I was talking about on a regular basis to help students that have questions she can help answer. It helps everyone in the end because she gets to talk through the work, the other students get help, and it helps alleviate some of the pressure on me. |
