Disgruntled Parent To: Ms. Babcock From: Mrs. Jenson Date: 12/13/2023 at 5:09pm I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WITH THE GRADE YOU ASSIGNED TO MY ALEX’S BOOK REPORT! HE DID NOT DESERVE THAT GRADE AT ALL. WHY DONT YOU LIKE HIM? WE NEED TO MEET TO DISCUSS HIS GRADE AND YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD HIM! MRS. JENSEN Developing a connection with your students’ parents is critical, whether an educator uses telephone, an about me page, email, or an app. Establishing a bond at the beginning of the school year may ensure that the child receives the finest education available. This also guarantees that parents know that you have their child’s best interests at heart. I picked the email addressing the Disgruntled Parent for this week’s discussion. We will all have interacted with an angry parent during our careers as educators. Responding to an intense message will require time, thought, and contemplation. I would often seek a second perspective before responding to enraged parents. according to the textbook, “to determine what assistance families require and when and how to collaborate with them, educators must first recognize families and their viewpoints” (Friend & Cook, 2017, p. 266). Educators at my school communicate with parents and guardians through the class dojo. Another interaction they use is sending home a weekly newsletter to keep parents informed about their child’s education. The goal is to get parents as involved in their child’s learning as possible so that the student has their parents' involvement and assistance in helping them succeed. Putting myself in Mrs. Babcock’s place, the email below is how I responded to Mrs. Jensen. To: Mrs. Jenson From: Ms. Babcock Date: 12/13/2023 at 5:30pm
I appreciate you contacting me. I am excited to be meeting you for a conference later in the week. I would also like to ensure that I have addressed any issues or concerns you might have. I am sure you, like me, are concerned about his accomplishments. This will, nonetheless, be an excellent opportunity for us to discuss what he is accomplishing in my class and how he is understanding. I want to meet you soon. Ms. Babcock References: Friend, M.
