There will come a time when a parent is not happy with the grade you gave their child. It may come in a phone call, email, or face-to-face contact. Share what you did or would do to diffuse the situation.

"There was a set of parents in the last school that did not like a grade I gave their child in U.S. History. The grade was affected by missed assignments and a lack of completing extra credit assignments. We agreed upon the child getting a few opportunities back to help raise their grade. Additionally, I said I would email the parents when missing assignments arose moving forward."
