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!)
I would immediately tell the parent to please step out into the hallway and I would make a call to the office for someone to come down to my class, either an administrator or resource officer. If the parent refused then I would let a neighboring teacher know of the situation and assist by allowing my students to enter their classroom. I would still contact the office. I would not engage in a conversation of the situation with an irate parent because I know that their state of mind is not in a conversational mood but I would try to calm them by reassuring them that I am willing to discuss this with them but at another time and in another setting. I would even apologize for any misunderstandings that they may have and assure them that I am willing to work with them and their child if they will have a sit down with me. Basically, I would stall until back-up arrives. |
