Case: "Good Stock"
You are the teacher of a Math class for seniors. You have a student who not only refuse to try to complete assigned tasks but continue to be disruptive during instruction. You call a meeting with the the parents to discuss the student's performance and the reason for the student's failing grade. The parent failed to offer any workable solution but the comments made seem to blame your teaching style as the reason for the student's failure. In addition the parent informed you that the student's mother is a school administrator and the father is an assistant superintendent of education in a nearby county so therefore the student is of "good stock". The meeting ended with you being more frustrated than before. What should be your next step?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would keep detailed documentation of the student's behavior and failure to complete their work. In that situation it is vital that the teacher remember she is dealing with parents, not officials. I would also begin weekly emails updating the parents about the student's behavior and academic progress, including copies of grade reports and reports of any unacceptable behavior. |

Comments: Yes, at the end of the day they are parents and they too should be held accountable for their sons lack of participation and behavior. They should not be treated any differently. |

Comments: This is what I would do in this situation so the parents are kept aware of what is going on in the classroom and detailed documentation was kept. |
