Ever had one of those parents that you just want to give a few home truths to but you have to remain professional!!!

I've got one parent who just think her child can do no wrong!!!!

Many teachers take snapshots at situations and are unable to assess what is going on so they think that the parent is problematic when in fact they are misjudging the situation.
Try to find out what is really going on and see it from her point of view.
It doesn?t have to be a win-lose always, it could be a win-win as well Wink

My friend who teaches at a local private school wishes he could say to the parents " you can't buy a brain"

Had to speak to a parent this week about the behaviour of her child. She wasn't happy....with me! Her child told me today "Miss, my mum doesn't like you and calls you names."
I just smiled to myself after thinking...now I know the cause of this behaviour in school and I shall look forward to my next discussion with her!
