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 idea of having the administration involved as soon as possible is probably the best one. Don't let the parent bully you. Because this sort of situation can get ugly fast. I would suggest calling a halt to the discussion immediately. Let the father know that you understand that he feels strongly, but that it would be helpful to have another person join the discussion.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great idea!
