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!)
The first thing I would do would be to call administration for assistance. I then would try to calm the parent down while keeping a reasonable distance. if in a pod setting, I might ask a neighboring teacher to come into the room with me and help me move the students out of the room and away from the volatile parent. This behavior is beyond unacceptable, and it is best to allow administration deal with it accordingly. First priority is the students' safety, then your own. |

| Comments: Removing the students from any type of threat is the most important factor in this scenario. Attempt to calm the parent by agreeing that "together" a solution must be found in regards to her child's behavior in the classroom. Depending on the facts and full details of the situation, perhaps a school personnel mediator should attend a conference between the administration, teachers, and parents. |

| Comments: This is a good solution on how to get others involve to make the situation calmer. It also leaves room for the parent to calm down and to help remove the student from the negative environment. |
