The dynamics of teacher-parent relationships can be dicey to say the least, and on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty, our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Jess Smith are going to go over the trials and tribulations with dealing with parents.

From defining boundaries to learning to say "no", trying to collaborate with our students' parents can get quite difficult, but we have some tips and tricks to nailing your next parent-teacher conference.

For example, apparently it's a teacher's job to make sure their students are regular? The amount of times we've been asked to check our students' poops for problems is absolutely insane! Talk about a crappy job amiright?

It's important to remember at the end of the day we should all be working together to make sure we make the best situation for our students to grow and learn. Our hosts finish off their conversation by pointing out how absurd it is that teachers and parents can be at odds with each other, because we're truly on the same team.
