  Case: The Techno Parent
A parent contacts you via email stating that you have punished the child unfairly in class. They inform you that they are going to take this further and that you should watch out. What course of action do you take?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would immediately type up an explanation of whatever led up to the incident as well as what took place inside the classroom in terms of discipline. I would also print out the email sent to you and staple it to your statement. I would then walk it to one of my Assistant Principals and explain the situation face to face to them. I would rather Administration hear about it from me first rather than be blindsided by an angry parent. That will allow the Administrator to think through the situation and already have a planned course of action if necessary.

Comments: Yes. Writing up the incident and punishment will help, as will taking it straight to admin. I'd keep a copy for my records, and a copy for admin. I'd ask for their advice, and document everything. Then the two of us (admin and myself) would come up with a plan.
