"Maybe not the most outrageous interaction, but it came with a twist.

I had a helicopter parent get extremely aggressive and threatening when his daughter was given a B on her progress report. Whatever, dude. It's not a real grade, chill. The student later earned an A because it was deserved, not because dad was bullying me.

Fast forward about a year, he was arrested while on the family vacation to the home country for arranging and paying for his wife's murder.

I wasn't that shocked, honestly."

"I teach math in an inner city middle school. I once had a parent tell me that I "need to treat her with respect" because she had a "master's degree in typing" and is not "your typical trap bitch". Needless to say, she was the typical trap bitch."

"I was told I had their permission to punish their child if they were not getting 100's on everything. This was in an elementary school."

"Not sure if applicable, but I am a college instructor and have a few students that are parents.

One asked me if I would like to do blow with her in the parking lot after class."

"That clearly the reason their son was making inappropriate, sexual comments towards me was because I was "enticing him with flirtatious private meetings". They were referring to the times I had to keep him back after class to lecture him on his behaviour. I actually said "Are you fucking kidding me?", which, I admit, was also an inappropriate comment."

"A friend had a parent that insisted she re-do all the report cards using software he created, rather than the software used by the school board. The parent also complained that it was unfair his child was given 0 on assignments the kid didn't do, because nobody had explained that not doing the assignments would affect the overall grade."

"Had a parent conference after, in just the first week, the 15 year old boy told me to fuck off when I asked him to get to work on the assignment, then after I didn't throw him out after hearing that, screamed "fuck you, you can't tell me what to do" repeatedly as I finally DID walk him to the office.

Parent says the next day, "you should just let him get his way. It's easier""

"A parent last year apologized for her son's attendance (45%) because she's had him in counseling for the past 6 months to help him cope with the loss of their hamster. 6 months of therapy. For a hamster. Never in my 19 years as an educator did I ever feel guilty for feeling zero sympathy for a chronic attendance excuse."

"I had a friend who got a 97 on his tests so his parent refused to make him dinner. They let him make something himself, but he was not allowed to eat with them."

"One time, a parent whose kid committed plagiarism on an assignment about the Watergate scandal actually called me Nixon and demanded my resignation. For, you know. Pointing out that their kid committed plagiarism."
