Confrontation Scenario

Design a confrontation scenario when student gets a bad grade, and write your response to the situation. Support with text.

A student misses a Spanish class before a test. He misses a great review session, but he has been in possession of the vocabulary list that was tested for a few weeks, and he was aware of the date of the test. His father calls, infuriated, when the student receives a poor grade. In response, I would stay cool (like a ref during a heated sports game) and validate the concern of the parent (coach). I would explain the situation from my perspective, and keep an open mind to allowing the student to make up the test, after studying, for an average of points. The author makes connections between the participants of a sports game to those involved in the lives of the student (the parent, the teacher, and the students themselves). Also, the author urges parents to get involved in the "practice" and benefit of the "player" as well as the "team". However, there is also sufficient warning to the teacher to give grace to the "coach," or parent, because the parent will always view the student as a "winner." To build upon this concept, perhaps it would be beneficial for the "coaches" to have more frequent meetings with the "refs" in order to keep everyone more fully informed in the first place?
