  Case: Mother
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 I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In this sort of volatile aggressive situation one needs to have a teacher witness in the classroom, I would either buzz or send a student to get another teacher or administrator if possible. If this is a especially aggressive parent I would need to have someone contact the school SRO as soon as possible so nothing gets out of hand.

Comments: I don't think that having a student leave the classroom would be the best idea but getting an administrator would.
