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 would in no way punish the child for not being prepared or returning things back to school. It is the responsibility of the parents to control what happens at home in terms of homework and signing important papers. I would first have a conference only with the parents and not have the student present. It sounds like communication on the parents' part is a huge issue. Maybe attaching a log in the child's folder for notes would be helpful. Keeping a log of what homework the child completed, has left to complete, or upcoming events would help with parents who do not communicate very well. |

| Comments: This is not the child's fault whatsoever. I think the idea of having a parent conference without the student present is the first step in opening the communication lines. |

| Comments: I agree with your response and the fact that the student should not be punished for coming to school not prepared. Things are difficult at home / on the child when parents are divorced. The parents need to work with the child and help them be prepared. However if the student is not prepared, it should be taken into consideration the things going on at home. |
