  Case: Motivational Strategies for Students with Little Parent Involvement
I teach middle school in a low poverty school with very little parent involvement. This has a major impact on my students' work ethic. It is very obvious which students lack guidance and parental support at home because they do not value their education and lack motivation to complete daily assignments. I have helped them as much as I possibly can in the classroom with assignments but I cannot get them to study or complete out of class assignments. What can I do to show students the importance of getting their education and motivate them to school?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I tell the students that their education is the one way ticket out of their current situation or city they are living in. Furthermore, an education is something that can never be taken away from them and you get one shot to take advantage of the opportunity of education.

Comments: Sounds more like preaching than anything. While it may be true, putting it in a better light or a superior way of presenting it may make it seem more appealing.
