    I'll be killing them with kindness

That's a reasonable way to deal with it. Mine was cheeky, merely to create spite; not a wise one, and certainly not the one to act on when dealing with antipathy. You can't subdue fire with fire.

    In the meantime, I know that I must win their hearts before their minds.

Do you have any particular methods or lines of thought that you attend to in order to do that? Sounds like a good thing to learn from someone who's dealt with the issue of pupils' parents before, since I aim to be a teacher myself.
