Case: Student from split family
I once had a student whose parents were divorced. She lived part time with mom and part time with dad. This student didn't know if she was coming or going. She rarely had her homework and hardly ever returned things to school that needed to be brought back. This was not the child's fault. It was the fault of the parents because of a lack of communication. How do you handle a situation such as this? Do you punish the child for not being prepared and not returning things back to school signed?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have had this same situation before. It is definitely not the student's fault. I began my intervention for this problem with the parents. I had a face to face conference with the parents and asked the principal and the parent coordinator to sit in on the conference. This way the parents knew I was serious. We talked about the importance of them being on the same page and helping their child succeed. I informed them that I knew it was not their child's fault and that each time the situation was an issue again, we would have to have another conference. This way, the consequence was on the parents. Parents hate being pulled out of their busy days for conferences. During the conference, we decided that the student would go to the parent coordinator's room in the morning and afternoon to work on homework. Parents had to be responsible at home for making sure the child finished his homework and for signing papers. I had the parents sign a contract stating they would do this. I did have a special colored folder in the child's backpack and highlighted things that were very important for them to read. I only had to have one more conference with those parents about this situation. Everything greatly improved after that. Once you get other people to attend your meetings, it seems like parents start paying attention. |

| Comments: I would do the same exact thing if I were in this situation. Allowing the principal and parent coordinator to attend the conference as well, will definitely let the parents know that this is a serious matter, as the student can definitely not be blamed for these occurrences. Therefore the parents will be held accountable and will be able to focus more on their child's school work. |
