  Case: The last year
On the first day of the school year the parent comes in stating that last year their child was constantly in trouble for no reason and that they will be coming in weekly to check up that you are doing your job correctly. They state that they have no hesitation in
taking it further. The parent was quite threatening. How do you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
My solution is to tell the parent that you believe every new year is a fresh start for the student. You remind them that you are not going to make every effort to create a positive learning environment for all of the children in your classroom. Explain to them your behavior management plan and how you will be practicing the first few weeks so that all students are aware of the classroom rules, procedures, and expectations. If the parent still acts threatening I would ask them nicely to remember that you are a professional and have their child's best interest at heart. If they continue to threaten you I would request a meeting with the counselor and the parent. Explain that sometimes it is important to have a third party there to help make sure everyone is working together as a team for the student.

Comments: I like how you start out saying its a fresh start and that you'll be practicing the classroom behaviors! And I think the 3rd party is important if this doesn't stop fast.

Comments: I think this is the best solution because it reassures the parent and yet still addresses the threat in a way where it is indirect but affirmative that that will not be tolerated.
