Case: Students Checking Out Daily
I have a set of twins in my classroom who are very smart and very sweet girls. However, without fail, they check out at least 2 days a week before I teach science/social studies. This has become a problem as the year has gone on because they are missing instruction and I am constantly having to catch them up. I have spoken to their mom, but the situation has continued. I have also spoken to the school counselor to see if there was an attendance policy regarding this. Still nothing has been done. Because they are intelligent girls, they have been able to maintain an A/B average this school year, but I am very concerned about their scores on the upcoming end of the year standardized assessment How can I stress the importance of their attendance for those subject areas to their mom in a way that will cause her to quit checking them out for her own convenience?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would speak with the parent again and make sure to emphasize how important it is for the students to stay in class. I would also make sure to point this out to a guidance counselor as well. He/she may be able to help. You may want to send the work for the day that they are missing home and have them do it for homework. The extra work they will have to do at home may be a deterrent for checking out. |

Comments: Having an open communication with the parents about your concerns is the best solution, and sending it home with them is a great idea as well, hopefully the parents can help them with the school work to catch them up. |

Comments: I think extra work is expected! If they missed that in class, it is up to the student to still complete it. After talking to administration and the parent there doesn't seem like much else you can do |
