It can be because he is not the line leader (each student has an assigned weekly jobs) to having to complete an writing assignment. He is a young student and is the youngest of the class. I follow our school behavior plan and he is on RTI 3 for academics. I talk to the parents because his grades are below average and I am concerned about academics. I have included in the my discussions that behavior is an issue. The parents simply state that "he is just trying to play you" or "you are not strict enough". I follow the rules and classroom procedures. What should I do? I believe behavior is a key issue related to his academics Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) When communicating with parents, it is important to include specific behaviors that are problematic. Give the student more opportunities to gain attention for positive behaviors instead of whining, and ignore as much as you can stomach.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: “If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this” Rated On: March 2, 2017 4:20 am Rated By: eVeQat
