Brody, Max and Mike Classroom Management Presentation

I had scenario one in Brody, Max and Mike's presentation project. Mr. Ford's office consisted of a table, his laptop and the window. The classroom was in the library. They used the wall as the
"board" and they made good use of the windows in the study rooms where the parents was standing outside. The characters were Mr. Ford and Mr. Haney (Max's father). Mr. Ford has received an angry email from Mr. Haney who says that his son is one of the smartest students he will ever meet but is getting angry that Mr. Ford won't respond back to him. Mr. Ford is in class the next day teaching a lesson when Mr. Haney comes in to interrupt and cause a scene regarding Mr. Ford's lack of responding to the situation. Mr. Ford could suggest that Mr. Haney come back at another time or that he wait until class is over for them to have a discussion about Max's performance. It would be wise and important for the other students concentration and safety to remove Mr. Haney from the situation and explain the importance of him leaving and returning later. To prevent these problems Mr. Ford could have responded to Mr. Haney's voicemail or email initially and that would have probably prevented Mr. Haney from showing up. I would have favored a more proactive situation because that makes the teacher look stronger and like a better teacher for responding to the parents concern right off.
