Reacting to Parents or Caregivers Who Display a Sense of Entitlement
The teachers should recognize their right to teach professionally without disruptions as
suggested by Charles (2011) and use this position to address the problem. Like teachers, parents
and caregivers have their rights in fostering the education of their children. However, parents and
caregivers should avoid evoking a climate that would undermine the development of students as
stated in the Bible (Colossians 3:20-21). In this history assignment help, some parents might
overstep their rights and display a sense of entitlement. Teachers have a responsibility to
intervene based on the best interests of students. The appropriate reaction from teachers is to
engage the parents in dialogue to achieve an understanding of relevant rules and policies as well
as their roles as partners in promoting the development of their children.
The dialogue should entail three key elements. In the first element, the teachers should
listen to the perspectives and attitudes of the parents towards the students. This element would
help the teachers to avoid yelling or arguing with the parents (Emmer & Evertson, 2013). As
teachers operate in increasingly more diverse classroom environments, it becomes easier to
overlook the diverse perspectives of the parents and caregivers about teaching and school at
large. Some attitudes of the parents and caregivers might encourage them to display a sense of
entitlement and diverge from the policies of the school. Seeking to understand such attitudes
would be an important initial step for the teachers in addressing the problem.

13. 13
In the second element, the teachers should explain the roles, policies, rules, and
procedures to the parents. Upon gaining an understanding of the attitudes of the parents, the
teachers would be in a strong position to provide explanations or parent education that would
improve the situation. Perhaps a lack of understanding on the part of the parents or caregivers
regarding their role might be a contributing factor in displaying a sense of entitlement. Teachers
might be dealing with parents from diverse backgrounds, but the established policies, rules, and
procedures provide an opportunity to foster common ground. An explanation of the roles of the
parents as partners with teachers in the learning environment, as well as the rules, policies, and
procedures, might influence the parents to adopt a cooperative approach rather than display a
sense of entitlement (assignment help).
The final element regards the teachers taking specific measures to cultivate a relationship
of trust and respect with the parents. These values are consistent with the Christian worldview
and would help the teachers to reach a consensus with the parents. Overall, the dialogue would
help teachers and parents or caregivers to build solidarity and create a environment of collective
agreements, mutual-respect, and collective responsibility for the education of the students.
