I would call dad or mom and describe the behavior you are seeing. Ask them for a contact you could reach during the day in case his behavior becomes disruptive again.

Never voted in person
I think that is a legitimate concern.

In person
The time you have them in person is so valuable and definitely should not be wasted on independent tasks like that. If they can do it at home, it is probably not something to waste your/ their time...

What are the best reading intervention materials you have used for phonemic awareness and phonics?
