Discussing with Amy's parents why her grades are slipping. This would be the least appropriate of the above choices because it circumvents the student in question. A dramatic shift in performance is indicative of a problem, and bringing her parents in to speculate may not be the best solution. There could be problems at home, and Amy should have a chance to explain the issues with her teachers, counselors and parents. In any event, Amy should be consulted.
