d. Ms Avery met his mother at the car when she picked up him and asked her is she could meet tomorrow at 3:00p.m.
Which of these do you think is the most effective and courteous? I will be glad to discuss your answer with you.
I would think "c"....how realistic is it that a boy would go home and tell his mother that he;d been a bad boy that day.
Oh...I thought the question is "least effective".
To determine which one of the approaches is probably the least effective about disruptive behavior, we need to analyze each option.
a. Ms. Avery wrote a note to the mother and sent it home with him, asking her to call when it was convenient.
This approach relies on the mother seeing the note and taking the initiative to call, which may not always happen. It leaves the communication in the hands of the mother and assumes she will prioritize addressing the disruptive behavior.
b. Ms. Avery phoned his mother and asked her if she could speak with her one afternoon that week.
This approach involves direct communication between Ms. Avery and the mother, allowing for a conversation about the disruptive behavior. It shows a proactive effort on Ms. Avery's part to address the issue.
c. Ms. Avery asked him to tell his mother that she wanted to speak with her tomorrow afternoon.
This approach relies on the student accurately conveying the message to his mother, which may not always happen. It introduces the risk of miscommunication or the student forgetting to pass on the message.
d. Ms. Avery met his mother at the car when she picked him up and asked her if she could meet tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.
This approach demonstrates face-to-face communication between Ms. Avery and the mother, potentially leading to a more direct and immediate discussion about the disruptive behavior.
Considering the options, approach a. is probably the least effective because it depends on the mother taking the initiative to call after receiving the note. In situations that require prompt intervention, waiting for the mother to initiate contact may not be the best course of action.
To summarize, option a. (Ms. Avery writing a note to the mother) is likely the least effective approach to address disruptive behavior compared to the other options.
