The parent comes in accusing you of picking on their child in front of others and they want the child moved to another classroom. How do you handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I wouldn't speak with a parent that came up to the school in a temper without a scheduled appointment for a conference and an administrator present. I would also document parent-teacher correspondence. When speaking with the parent, I would first ask them what their student has relayed. I would then tell them my side of the story and offer possible explanations for the student's claims.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I feel like if you don't talk with the parent at all at first when they come up to you, it could send a message that you're a mean teacher. Other than that having an administrator present while having the conference is the right way to go. Rated On: March 5, 2017 12:54 am Rated By: uresaM
