Conflct Resolutions

 
     When I think of a conflict that happened in my work place, I think of the time that a parent in my room accused me of something that never happened. The issue happened when the parent called my supervisor of allegation of her son being slap by someone and the parent assumed it was by the teacher. The parent threaten to report me to the director and have me fired. The next day I spoke with my supervisor about the allegation because I know the type of teacher I am and that's not my character. After speaking to my supervisor I felt better, but not too comfortable because I do not do well with misconceptions. That same day, the parent came in an apologized about the allegations stating that her son said a friend did it and not his teacher and that he did not tell the teacher that it happened to him. I felt relieved that the truth came out because I am passionate about my career and I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize my career choice. Till this day, the parent still apologize for almost getting me fired over a misunderstanding.

     When I think of the three R's, the one that I would use the most is respect. I say respect because respect must go two ways, however, in this profession, you must stay respectful even if those individuals aren't respectful to you. A open line of communication is also needed to reduce conflict. When it comes to my parents, I almost always have a open line of communication whether its a little push, just to tell them about their child day or even to see how they are doing. In a situation that I was in, you must remain humble and respectful to parents even after a chaotic incident took place. It is always appreciated when a individual can admit they are wrong and apologize for being wrong.
