I have an administrator's child in my class and he is having academic/behavior issues. The administrator frequently tries to confront me about the situation face-to-face. I am concerned because the other parent is not present and proper documentation needs to be made.

If you feel uncomfortable you could always reach out to your supervisor to set up the meeting for you.

The administrator should understand that they need to go through the same channels as other parents to address issues with their children. Before or afters school meet with the administrator to set up a parent teacher conference to discuss the issues that are being seen in the classroom. If you feel uneasy about it maybe have another administrator present with you when you speak to them about setting up a conference.

There shouldn't be a problem as a teacher doing your job.

I have noticed that the best way to deal with behavior issues is to address them right away. Trying to put it off or give them more chances because they are an administrators child will just cause more problems in the end. If it is a serious problem it should definitely be documented and both parents should be present for any type of conference.
