Case: Mother
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 I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In a situation like this I would immediately call the office and ask for the principle or the name of the police officer in the school. If this isn't possible because of the situation I would send a student with a note to the teacher next door asking them to call the office for me and also to have a teacher come to my classroom for a witness. I would not try to engage into a conversation with the parent on how to solve the problem but instead I would inform them that they are not happy with what I am doing and need to speak to my supervisor which can be here in a moment for them. |

| Comments: I agree that this situation does require immediate contact with the principal and other administration. I think that using language that is not argumentative or engaging the issue at had is a wise strategy. |

| Comments: I find this solution to be effective because the students safety should be the teachers priority. Sending for a witness as well a police officer could help ensure the safety of the students. |

| Comments: Good idea. The student's safety are main priority. Offering the parent to speak to your supervisor may clam her down. |
