[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and recently had a dad get semi aggressive with me.  I no longer share anything other than positive things with the family.  I avoid them as much as possible.  There's concerns about the child developmentally, but I'm not going to talk with the family about that because it is a risk.  I'm not risking my safety over it.[/quote]

This is disgusting. If you have developmental concerns about a child, you share that information with the family. You share it with the mom with the principal and other people present. No one is going to jump you just because you say their child needs to be evaluated. [/quote]

It sounds like she did and the dad got aggressive. What’s your problem?![/quote]

NP but she DIDN'T. She said she had concerns but she wasn't going to share them. That's a bad teacher. She can go through the VP or the Principal instead of talking to the parents directly, but to not share that information with the family is really unprofessional.[/quote]

I’m a different teacher, but if the family is aggressive or I think they may get aggressive, I’m not interacting with them or will only interact at a minimum.  If my school district finds it unprofessional, they can fire me.[/quote]
Why can't you go through an intermediary? The counselor or the principal? Those parents deserve to know if their child has problems.[/quote]
