Progress Reports and Parents
Today I'm entering progress report grades. Our district has a new computer system that everyone is still getting used to. Unfortunately, some of the grades that I planned on using were entered in to the computer too late. The "class participation" marks that I was going to use to boost some grades are now not eligible. Hmmm, oh well. It is unusual that I fear the wrath of the parents of students to whom I give low grades? I suppose that its not my fault that their child doesn't do homework...ever. Parents scare me. How do others get over this?

Deal with parents the same way you deal with the students, show no fear. If they sense that you're scared they will eat you up like mosquitos on a hot July day. Explain that you didn't GIVE these grades to your students, they EARNED it. Stand by your convictions and don't be bullied into anything, EVER!
