  Case: Dealing with angry parent
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 you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have immediatley called the office or sent one of the student's to the office to get assistance. I would try to calm the parent down by explaining this is not the type of behavior you want your students to see.

Comments: I would do this. Sending a student to the office to get help is a good idea because the teacher can have eyes and ears on the parent at all times.
