What is a good response when parents accuse you of not liking their child? It feels like this is a go-to accusation at my school. I kid you not, one parent said to me, "You wrote in his book to use a ruler and that shows you don't like my child!"
I want to say something that lets them know that's not the case at all, that that's not an acceptable thing to say to a professional (I actually find it really insulting) and to draw the conversation back to what it's really about. Whilst still being generally polite and professional.
Helpful responses only, please...
