A parent once asked if we could arrange for their child to have his core classes in the afternoon and noncore classes/study halls in the morning because they couldn’t prevent him from playing video games all night. He had a television and Xbox in his bedroom and never slept unless he was in class.

I worked at a camp about 5 years ago. One of the kids moms gave us a bunch of pre-written letters and told us to give one to her daughter each week instead of actually writing her weekly.

Worked as a Residence Hall Director for a time and had to settle two 20 year old adults problems via their mothers on the phone at 11:30 at night because they each demanded to talk to me since their respective children “couldn’t possibly be the problem” It’s a great story i like to tell in interviews.

I’m a pretty tall guy. In my first year teaching young ones, one mother said her daughter was scared of me because of my height. Her solution was obviously for me to try to act less tall.

Used to work at a summer camp. Had a mother ask us to remind her baby boy to go to the bathroom (number 2) every few hours. He had previously shat himself on outings…. he was in third grade.
