What makes parents angry? Parents are angry when school personnel take actions that:

  • undermine trust
  • create a negative climate
  • deliver inadequate services to your child

Does your district need helpful school strategies for productive team meetings?

This issue of the Special Ed Advocate, Back to School Session 4, describes some significant school system mistakes.

Find out how to create more effective team meetings when parents learn to help the school, and schools learn how to avoid confrontation with parents.

We hope you will forward this series to other friends, families, or colleagues.

This article, describing common mistakes schools make, should be required reading for all special ed administrators.
