  Case: The Parent who makes verbal threats
A student is slightly injured during a game in class. His parents have been at odds previously with school personnel for a variety of reasons. The father arrives at school for a scheduled appointment you have arranged. He proceeds to make several verbal threats
and accusations towards you.
Parent : I'm not here for niceties.
You: I have been informed of your son's injury.
Parent : He isn't the only one who's going to be hurt. I'll sue you and make sure you don't have a job.
You???
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In this situation, I would never allow for anyone to speak to me in a disrespectful manner whatsoever. The student was injured and called in for a meeting with the teacher. I would've had a second teacher or an administrator there so that nothing further escalates.
