Case: Student needs immediate attention
I have a student that requires a lot of attention and if I do not address her needs immediately she will get mad and tell me she doesn't need my help. The other day she snapped at me to get my attention and then got mad when I told her that was not an appropriate way to get my attention. I spend large amounts of time during class working with this student and when she does come to tutoring after school I always make time to answer her questions. Yet she goes home and tells her mom I don't want to help her. How do I address her needs without neglecting my other students and how do I help her understand I can't always be immediately available?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It sounds like this student is used to receiving immediate attention from her parents at home (and if she does not get yours she throws a fit) or she is getting too little attention at home and is in desperate need of your attention. I would call her parents and ask if she acts like that at home. If so, what steps do the parents take in handling the situation. Either way calling home lets the parents know that you ARE concerned, and not trying to ignore their child. |

Comments: I think this idea could lead to more harm than good. A parent could get very offended by this. |
