So I get to school today and one of the AP's pulls me to the side to tell me that the student I wrote up yesterday, dad has called and want to speak to me. His son apparently went home and told the dad that "I put my hands on him several times". I looked at the AP and said are serious. He tells me yes. So I told him that is a bunch of BS that I never touched the kid. So he has me call the dad but I got his voice mail and left a message. Well I come out of the locker room with my 8th graders and the dad and the kid are in the middle of the gym. I walk up and ask what is going on and he says he is hear to talk to me. I told him that he would have to wait that I was ending class right now. I asked him how he was doing and he says "How the hell do you think I am doing, you put your hands on my son". My 8th graders looked at me and asked what was this guy talking about.
I come back from lunch and try to discuss what is going on and let this dad know I did not "put my hands on his son". He is aggressive in tone of voice and body language from the get go. Every time I tried to talk he keep interrupting me. I finally told him to stop talking and let me explain the situation. He then gets in my face chest to chest and is now yelling at me and cussing me out, all in front of his kid. As he is doing this he is spiting in my face. I did not move and keep telling him he needed to calm down and that I would not have this argument with him. He then puts his arms out to the side and tells me we can end this right now, trying to fight me. I told him that I was going to go get the school officer and he would leave in handcuffs. He keep on cussing me out as I walked away. I found the security officer and had him come and get the parent.
I was then called down to the principle office and she ask if I am okay and if I want to press chargers. To be honest I thought about it but don't really feel like dealing with it down the road and having to go to court etc. Then she tells me that she needs me to come in and discuss the allegations tomorrow morning and that they may put me on admin leave depending on the findings WTF. What happen to having the back of your teachers. My wife said I should contact HR and tell them what happen and that I do not feel safe working there. This guy could have seriously hurt me and should not have been allowed down to my classroom without supervision.
Your thoughts?
