How to Stop a Teacher from Calling Home

March 1, 2015 | 41 Comments

So… you are a student and you got in trouble at school
you suspect your teacher will call home?

If you are a student keep reading below

 If you are a parent please go directly to THIS POST

stop a teacher from calling home

Last Minute Tips Before a Teacher Calls Home:

1. Usually teachers call home when they are very upset and they have already talked to you about the issue before. The easies way to stop a teacher from calling home is to change her plan and talk to her personally before she/he has called. It will be smart if YOU talk to the teacher first.  NO ARGUMENTS will work with these situations. Be very polite and apologetic. Be willing to listen to no matter what your teacher will say. You know well what the problem is. Let that teacher let off steam (instead of doing it with your parent) Show her that you are responsible for your behavior and ask what you need to do. If a teacher sees that you are wiling to take responsibility for your actions first, then they are less willing to call home.

2. If the phone call home has already happened, don’t argue with your parents at home. Don’t try to blame the teacher or anyone else in order to get out of trouble. Simply explain the situation. Try to take responsibility for your own actions and let them know if there is anything you are worried that has nothing to do with you.

3. Most important-take that as a warning sign. Think what you need to do so that that same situation does not happen again. If you take responsibility to change your actions but you don’t do it, then the problem usually escalates and you don’t want to get to that place.

    One of my methods is to give the student the opportunity to talk to the parents first. This happens when the same behavior keeps occurring. Then the student is to have their parents call me.

        So, I was in online english class, and at the beginning of class I was watching anime instead of writing things down. She said countless times that she was going to give up the answers and that this is an easy A. So we either have an A or F. She also said that she was going to call home if we don’t write this down. It was an online assignment by the way. So, during advisory I emailed my friend saying “Hey can I have the answers?” Thing is though, the Teacher I spoke of, made them do it on their own for whatever reason. Let me remind you again; she gave us the answers. So I sent her an email saying this: “So, I couldn’t write down some of the answers on some of the hmh things because the presentation wasn’t showing up and I had to restart my device. So, what is your meeting code for advisory? I forgot.” She didn’t reply. About 20 minutes later, I said this: “or should I just write it in my own words so I don’t have to join the meet” About two minutes until advisory was over, I noticed she took the meet down, so I written it in my own wordds. No, in my friends words, except rephrasing it. I turned it in, with one–no, two unfinished questions. I am going to act like I forgot that they we’re there (although I hate to admit it, it was blind obvious). So, I really don’t know if she is going to still send a phone call home. I did a bit of research on Quora on how to stop a techer from sending a phone call home in case. However, she is probably not going to tell me “oh hey, i’m sending a phone call home now.” I’ve only had one problem with this specific teacher; fooling around in a advisory meet while she was in a breakout room. She didn’t call home then. Now i’m probably going to be super nervous every time I hear a phone ring today (and possibly tomorrow). As of now, she hasn’t said anything on my email. However, i’m truely expecting the worst. I hope she sees it, and if she calls home, we can get everything sorted out. Although, my house is very strict. Plus I have an very snotty attitude—-I mean an iNtErEsTiNG PeRsOnAlItY-

    My teacher calls my mom to school and will complain about me. A student has trapped me by recording a phone call and I don’t want to be embarrassed in front of my class or my mother what should I do?

      Oh, if there is a recording, this is serious. It depends on what they recorded so it is difficult to say without more information. It is best to be VERY honest with your parents first no matter how embarrassing it may be. It is better to hear the story from you first! Hope it goes well and feel free to contact with further questions.

      You can try creating a scenario of past and tell your parents that you were in a situation[for eg–your friend did this so you did that and so on] and had no idea what you were doing. It is as simple as that, I have trued this many a times and was always successful. Good Luck.

      No It depends totally on you and your parents that you wanna lie or not. If it is a matter of 2 warnings, then you should tell your parents that you were in a situation where all your friends did the same thing, so as you did. You should be apologetic and agreeing with your mistake, that’s all your parents want from you. And yes a good result effects the most!!

    I messed around in my science class today…. the teacher took me out of the classroom and said shes gonna call my parents. I’m really stressed out because my parents are really strict!! They’ll take away everything and lecture me for a really long time. I’m so scared cause this is the first time ive ever misbehaved like that. My teacher is the type of person to actually do it so im just waiting…. i dont want to disappoint them :(( i tried to ask her to talk to me for a solution but she wouldnt have any of it. Im thinking of making up an excuse but its i dont want to lie like that

    said so you are talking back and i didnt respond and she said phone call home to me.So i got mad and literally didn’t talk to that old bag for the rest of the class period and she talked to me and i IGNORED HER ON PURPOSE because basically i was getting in trouble for no reason.On top of that my other teacher wanted to call my mom for sleeping but i get it so its ok but its also not my fault they give out to much homework.So right now i’m currently scared cause i’mma get my butt beat FOR NO REASON , HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN IS THIS MY FAULT?????

    I tried to talk to my teacher and I was like, ” I’m sorry for what I did and if I can make it up to you what can I do?” And he said, ” well how about you call your parents yourself and tell them what you did because I have had enough of you.” I guess I deserved it since I have been pretty bad in class but now I learned my lesson even though I’m grounded for the rest of the year for what ive done

    so I’ve been having issues with my technology teacher and I’ve been trying to get my work done but the class is so rowdy and unorganized. He placed me next to all 3 of my best friends but the entire class is talking, giggling, screaming and I turn around for 1 second and he is telling me to stop talking. I say “okay” or whatever. The other day, he was giving the class a lecture, someone said something really funny so I giggled a tiny bit and stopped, he said “IT IS NOT FUNNY ALANA, THIS IS MAINLY FOR YOU”

    My average in the class is an 8% he pressures me too much and called my mom on the second day of school for talking. Then he gave me a bad score on notebook check but that class is easy it’s just frustrating. Now he said he might have to call my parents and I won’t be surprised if he did but my parents are extremely strict. They’ll embarrass me in front of all my brothers and they won’t stop talking about it for weeks. What do I do? Me and the teacher already talked and I promised him that I will raise my score up.
