商品簡介
Tingley, a writer and consultant who has been a teacher, principal, and school superintendent, and has taught education administration at the State U. of New York at Oswego, presents a guide for teachers to dealing with difficult parents. She describes the characteristics of parents in the past and today and examines recurring types of parental behaviors. She uses sample dialogues to illustrate dealing with parents who insist their child doesn't lie; who believe their ideas should be embraced by everyone; who accuse the teacher of picking on the child; who try to intimidate teachers; who point out the teacher's mistakes; who fight for their children's rights, even when inappropriate; who become overly involved in their children's sports activities; who think school attendance is not mandatory; who aggressively advocate for their special needs children; who hover over their children; and who are competitive with the teacher. She ends with tips for parent conferences and advice for what to do when nothing works. There is no index. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
