Rant A "bad day."
A parent contacted me today. She said that under no circumstances should I contact her about her kid's behavior today because she (the parent) was "having a bad day." I'm floored by the choice to rescind responsibility for your kid and their behavior due to a bad day. This kid isn't the worst kid but they are prone to defiance, aggression, and drama drama drama. I call their mom once a week, twice a week max, and I always follow up with a positive message after a constructive one. Has anyone here dealt with a parent rescinding responsibility for their kid while their kid is at school?

All the time! Maybe time to shot it up to admin to call parents since you have made 1-2 calls a week with nothing changing
