Case: Underachiever in a high achiever class
I have a gifted and high achiever class this year. Our county places gifted identified students in this class and uses a rubric to determine the high achievers that fill in the slots. In our school, we do not have many gifted students and even our high achievers are not true high achievers. I have a student who definitely should not be in this class. Out of all of the assignments we have had so far, he has done maybe 5% of them. I have already had 2 conferences with the parent. I have told her all of the expectations on this high achieving class before she signed the acceptance letter. I told her that her child was going to have to work very hard to be successful in this classroom and asked her if she still wanted him to stay in the class or be removed. She chose to have him stay in the class. He has not turned in the 2 last projects, does no homework, and virtually no classwork. The mom thinks I am being too hard on him because he is a 'sensitive' child but I feel like I should punish him and hold him to the same high standards as the other students. Am I wrong about this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think you are very justified in your response to the behavior. I would make sure that you are documenting all of the "lack" of progress, as well as the phone calls, conferences, and face to face meetings with the parents. I sometimes use a spiral binder to jot down a quick note to reference back to when keeping documentation logs on specific students such as this. Good luck! |

| Comments: Although the teacher has good ideas, I would not use this solution in this situation. I would take detail notes, but I would not just stop there trying to resolve the situation. |
