Case: The Invisible Parent
Ms. Bishop has a parent that is virtually non-existent when they receive phone calls, emails, and letters about their child's progress or disciplinary issues. However, when deficiencies and report cards go home and their child has a poor grade the parent suddenly appears and makes a grand appearance ranting and raving about their child. How does Ms. Bishop get this parent on board at all times in a school where there really is no parental involvement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the student has a bad grade on the assignment make sure the parent is signing the assignment or test and ask to be contacted. Keep the parent involved through the entire grading period. When you send an assignment home to be signed, send an email letting them know that something is being sent home for them. When the parent doesn't sign the assignment and has a problem at the end there is proof that contact was made from your end. |

| Comments: I love the idea of having the parent sign. It then proves your efforts as a teacher and that the lack of communication from the parent is the issue. |

| Comments: I don't know if this will really get the parent on board. This is more likely to cause the student trouble at home because he will need to try and convince a non-existent parent to get the tiniest bit involved. |

| Comments: This is not what I would do. I dislike this solution because there has not been frequent contact with the parent to begin with so it is unlikely that this will solve the solution. |
