In this situation, I think you politely tell the parent that you'd be happy to discuss their child's grades and behavior at a more appropriate, mutually agreed upon time. You can indicate that you need to gather materials and examples to have a meaningful conversation. You can tell the parent that you will reach out (via phone, email, or whatever communication has been decided) and give them multiple date/time options for the meeting. Be sure to follow up withe the parent timely to get the meeting scheduled. |

I love your suggestion and will most likely use it if I’m in this situation! |

I think you should respectfully reply "I would be happy to discuss your child's academic life between the hours of 7am and 4pm, Monday through Friday". I think that response is more than fair. |

I would carefully explain to the parent that it's better to have these conversations in private meeting without distractions. I would ask the parent to email me and set up a time or set up a time in the moment if you're able to. |

I would kindly tell them that this is my personal time, and that I would love to set up a time with them after school to talk. This is an inappropriate thing to do and I would remind them of that in a nice way. |
