Jacquelyn's mother is a strict disciplinarian and when she volunteers in your classroom, she often is more rigid and demanding with the students than you are. One day, you hear her say to a Maurice, "If you don't stop doing that right now, I'm going to make your life at school miserable." What is the most sensible thing to do in this situation?

b. Ask Jacquelyn's mother if she could spend some time reorganizing the files in the back of the room and making some copies in the workroom down the hall.
c. Wait for Jacquelyn's mother to leave the room, then say to the students, "Don't worry. I won't let Jacquelyn's mother go overboard with you guys. Let's just agree to ignore it when she says things like that."
d. Let Jacquelyn's mother stay for the rest of the day, but then call her and tell her that while you appreciate the time she's spent with your class, you don't need her assistance any more.
