How would you manage this case if you are running a grade school as a business?

The school hosted a party. And all the classes had presentations to do. The class teachers were to drill the kids on their various presentations. The class teachers used whatever criteria to choose pupils in their class that would take the presentations.

After the party, there were several complaints of favouritism by parents. Many parents complained that their kids were not chosen to do the presentations. They questioned the school on why their kids were not chosen. Some threatened to pull out their kids from the school because of that.

As the owner of the school, how do you manage that?

This is about knowing to manage a business to create a balance that none of customers will be displeased. The proprietor should design the programs in such a way that every child will be a partake by doing group presentations! Though, it will be difficult to please every parents. Parents are so attached to their children and sometimes make unnecessary demands that will be difficult to fulfill.

The class teachers should have done the kinds of presentations that every child can partake. You don't alienate some kids like that. The parents are absolutely right.

If the term has events, just make sure that you organise enough events per term for every child to have the chance to do presentation in at least one event before that term runs out.

If everything was handled honestly, what you simply need to do is calmly explain to them the criteria used in selecting the students, and why these kids where selected over the others. If the parents are reasonable they will see the truth.

it is to explain things to them to understand why it was done that way. That not everyone would have done the presentations

I honestly don't know how to handle this kind of issue. But I would advise that the school makes presentation in groups next time.
