Two of my students have extremely difficult parents.
Unfortunately, because the students are non-verbal, i have to occasionally write notes home to tell them things. It seems like no matter what i write, even if it's simply "she had a great day," they will find some way to complain about it.
I've been told by my supervisors and many of the other parents that i am an excellent teacher and that they are very impressed with how smoothly i run this difficult classroom.
These parents are extremely discouraging and even sometimes insulting. No matter how hard i try to let it go, it's impossible not to take it a little personally.
How do you handle these negative comments?
Does anyone have a similar situation? How did you handle it?
Thanks!
