I would suggest that you talk to both of them. Have them put their family
before this issue, their children before this issue. During parenting one
wears the Parent Hat. See if there is a way you can turn it into a learning
situation: how they can help their children work through a similiar
situation. We all run into people we don't care for, but we often have to
work with them. How does one do that successfully? Also, be certain to
establish ground rules for parent group and for your program. Have all the
students make the rules and agree to them. Follow the rules
In family literacy, or any classroom, one can have rival gang members or
divorced couples, etc. One needs to work out ways to deal with
disagreements. I would also suggest that you look at the Equipped for the
Future information onResolve Conflict and Negotiate.

Subject: [NIFL-FAMILY:1146] Issues between students
Like I've said before, we are a new Even Start. I have
a problem with two of my students. One, a male, has a
very distinctive name, and another student, a female,
has found out that the first student is also in the
program (we offer services through a variety of adult
ed providers, so they don't see each other through the
adult ed). I need to get the parent group going, but
I don't think I can put these two together! We don't
have enough students at this point to allow us to have
two parent groups, so how do I accomodate both of
these students?
By the way, I did NOT ask for details, and I have not
told the male student about the female student being
in the program.
Thanks!
