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!) With this problem you need to first think of what is safest for the students I would first try and to send a message to the teacher next door or have a student dial the office and another try and get a teacher from the area. I would try and get the mother into the hallway. Taking it into the hallway means you will have other teachers having the ability to hear the conversation and call for help or try and come help you. The school resource officer might need to come down in order to restrain the parent so that the conversation doesn't get too out of hand. this will also allow the mother time to calm down.You can also discretely call the office or a fellow teacher from your cell phone and have them listen in on the conversation so they are not only a witness but can call for help. |
