Case Study #6: The Angry Parent

How I handle this. Preplan! All of my rules and consequences are in a policy sheet I hand out to each student at the beginning of the semester. They must be signed by the student AND parent and returned. Extra credit is earned to entice students to return it as soon as possible. Keep ALL the returned slips. When someone complains later, you've got their signature in reserve to show them. You don't even have to say a word. It works every time.
