Case: Parents Talking About Other Teachers to You
You are the sponsor for the Beta Club and often wait with children who are being picked after meetings. When you are monitoring, the parent of a student you taught in science last year often comes to say hello. You really enjoyed teaching their child and have a good rapport. Recently though the parent has been bringing up their student's new science teacher and how frustrated they are this year. The parent goes on and on about how horrible they are, how their child is failing, and that the teacher often embarrasses the kids in front of the class. How would you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That is really tough, but I think that I would try to let the parent know that you are not the person to be venting to. I would say something like, "I'm sorry that you are feeling that way, I would suggest that you speak with the teacher about your concerns, because nothing will help your child more than working with that teacher to help his succeed. If that does not work, you may want to contact the principal with your concerns." |
