Probably depends what district you're talking about as well (and the grade level). My girlfriend's sister teaches elementary in St. Albert, which I've heard teacher acquaintances there refer to as the "helicopter parent capitol of Alberta", it sounds like there's usually at least one per class they teach. She was telling me over Christmas about one mom that semester who was actively trying to get her fired over some minor thing. Sounds a little crazy there.
Also depends on what you mean by "difficult". Like bad altercations with parents, or even just friendly but higher maintenance situations where you're having to email them every day to keep them up to speed with their kid's performance/behavior? Said she spends about an hour a day emailing with different parents.
