  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!)
The main thing would be to remain cool, calm, and collected. You don't want to do or say anything offensive to the parent. Calmly explain what has happened. Talk with supervisors about the problem and what was said with the parent. You would only need to take drastic measures if the verbal threats turn to threats to physically harm you or someone at the school. You would need to talk to the supervisors again as well as school secrety.
