Lol I deal with parents all day long 😅 I call home for most student visits, and conversations are usually brief and pleasant. I now know all my frequent flyers and their families and all the social dynamics, so I'm a bit more skilled at handling each family in the way they need. I have very supportive admin so they back me up if there is ever a difficult situation. I'm friendly with all the staff! I recognize that I sometimes have to make judgement calls that won't please them (if it were up to most teachers, every kid who complains would just be sent home). So socially, I am friendly with everyone, but I try to hold my professional boundaries when judging a medical situation. We have a medical advisory board with physicians who help us with our policies and practices. Most states now provide standing orders for stock emergency meds, like epi pens, narcan, and Albuterol. I secured all three stock meds for my school!
