[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, teacher here. I would not respond in writing. I would call the parent directly and calmly state that you'll meet with the student one time and give one extra week to submit. Tone is hard to read in even the most carefully worded emails. But, I would let your principal know, in writing, what you said and what the parent said on the call. [/quote] Oh, I absolutely would put it in writing. That sounds like the kind of parent to misrepresent what OP told her. OP, you have gotten good advice and we want to hear the update![/quote] Yes, I'd do it in writing to document that you are offering to help.[/quote]
