Don't despair if you are finding it difficult to get parents onside; try these tactics from Tom Bennett, TES behaviour adviser, for dealing with difficult parents.

"When you know you are in the right"? So you think that by default teachers know better than parents, and it's all about to get parents to support the teacher. Ever thought that it is the other way round? Parents are the main educators of their children, and teachers are supporting this education. So when there is disagreement between teachers and parents the default should be that teachers listed to parents and do what the parents want for their children. I am not talking about behavior here, but about the disgraceful discrimination of classifying children into "foundation" and "high" tiers for example. Parents have the right to stop their children from being condemned by teachers to a bad future against the parents' will, when teachers set those disgraceful targets for the pupils and then deceive parents always telling them that their kids are doing so well.
thank you.
