  Case: The Techno Parent
A parent contacts you via email stating that you have punished the child unfairly in class. They inform you that they are going to take this further and that you should watch out. What course of action do you take?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would contact administration, bringing them a copy of the e-mail and asking for their help in the matter. they may not want you to respond at all. Or they may want you to respond a specific way and monitor the discussion.

Comments: I agree. There may be specific protocols with how to handle threats such as these. It is helpful that the threats were in writing. I would save documentation of that in addition to following administrations instructions in case the situation escalates further.
