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!) First, I would stop my lesson and get ahold of someone in administration immediately, whether that be through the Centrix badge, phone, text, or radio. I would then either move the students to a different room or out into the hall and inform a neighbor teacher of the situation, acting as if it were a violent behavior form another student. I would send a trusted pair of students to also go to the office and inform the resource officer of the incident so they can provide back up as well. I would do everything to protect the safety of my students. The students safety should be the first priority. The parent should not have been allowed past the front desk without an escort to begin with. I would do everything to keep the students separated from the violent behavior, or potential violent behavior, and keep them safe until back up arrives. Once back up arrives I would move the class to a different area of the school until given the all clear to return to the room.
