pulling parents off the ceiling

The poet Taylor Mali changed my mind. His powerful words about what teachers make have been forwarded all over the world in e‑mails. He inspired me to rethink what social workers make. Teachers don’t get paid what they are worth. They don’t sit around boasting about their salaries and summer homes and vacations in the South of France. The paycheck and perks are probably pathetic compared to the endless hours and passion put into planning lessons, grading papers, counseling students, and pulling parents off the ceiling

заспокоювати батьків
Я не впевнений на 100%, але тут, можливо, мова про вислів to hit the ceiling, що означає «розлютитись».

утихомирювати батьків
Звісно, добре було б знайти фразеологічний зворот. Як варіант пропоную ще "повернути до тями"/"допомогти повернутися до тями"
