  Case: Dealing with angry parent
You are teaching one of your classes, when all of a sudden, an outraged mother comes through the door and knocks down everything in her way. The parent's child and you have had a difficult time lately, due to disciplinary problems in the classroom. You have tried to set up meetings with the parents, but they refuse to come in, they just claim that the child is not at fault. You have just given the student another detention that day, and they had to call home. The mother is sick of you giving her child detention. She is yelling everything in the book at you and threatening to hurt you. It seems there is no way to calm her down, and there is a possibility that any move might make her go into attack mode which would threaten the students. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not understand how the parent is allowed to come down to the class during class time. Anyways, the principal needs to intervene with this problem. I am sure he/she is aware of the situation and there needs to be conference with everyone to determine what the problem is and determine a solution for it. This is needs to happen quick. Also, the parent needs to realize that they can not act this way and probably does not need to approach this teacher without another school administrator present.

Comments: I agree with this situation. When reading the scenario the only thing I could think was why was this parent able to access the classroom? as you mentioned. I also think that there needs to be a meeting immediately with the parent, the teacher, and administration. Another staff member should be called to the classroom to take over while this meeting takes place.

Comments: Agree with everything. The administration, security personnel, or on-site officer, or SRO need to be contacted immediately.

However, it is very unlikely that this exact situation would even occur.
