  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!)
In this situation, I would report the email to administration immediately and make them aware of the situation including the punishment the parent is emailing about. I do not see a reason to respond to the email but if I did I would politely explain the situation that resulted in the punishment and suggest that if there are any other problems to schedule a conference.

Comments: I agree with this subject and think that it is very important to report situations similar to this to administration. Threats and "punishments" should not be taken lightly and you shouldn't be afraid to go to administration.

Comments: This is the way to go. Threats should not be taken lightly, and this gives the opportunity to open a discussion and cover anything that maybe the parent doesn't know about and just assumed the worst.

Comments: I as the educator would stand up for myself and for sure email the parent explaining the situation try to work things out. If the parent was not understanding keep proof and let them dig their own hole talking to administration.
