Case: Parental Intimidation
I was in a situation last semester were I was an intern with my CT and one of the parents who's family conference I sat through frightened me. He was a very tall, very muscular man covered with tattoos and spoke very gruffly to my CT. She seemed to handle it well, but the man frightened me terribly. I could not imagine having to have done that on my own. Any suggestions how to get over such a silly fear? Or tips to calm myself when I'm feeling frightened by a parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
At my school, we make sure that there are always at least two teachers who are in the meeting. We never meet with parents one on one for this reason. If we know ahead of time that the parent is hostile or intimidating we will invite our school councilor or an assistant principle to the meeting. This usually helps! |

| Comments: Having another professional there to back up your points is reassuring, and having another presence in the classroom may make it an easier conversation to have. If the parent is intimidating, having back up or a witness is a desperate requirement. |

| Comments: Meeting with parents can always be weird especially on bad circumstances but I think being confident that this is your students parent and you are a teacher and you know your job and you are not worried about the parent but the student can help along with definitely always having another teacher with you so you are more comfortable. |
