Terminating the Screamer

[MonkeyPrincess]

He left WHILE YOU WERE STILL TALKING??? If that were me, i would have sent the email termination to both parents immediately that night!

In this case, yes, i think e-mail is appropriate. I would include in the e-mail all the issues with the child/children as well as the parents that led to your decision to terminate. You should print a copy for your records, and when sending the e-mail include a 'read notification' so you know that they have opened the e-mail. That way, they can't give you the old 'oh i didn't get your email' speech.
