  Case: Student Absences
I have a student who has been absent a lot through the course of the few months we have been at school already.She is falling behind in her academic classes, and it very apathetic when she is in class. In an effort to help her pass all subjects I have extended myself before school and after to get her work done. She does not come. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk with my counselor about talking with her and perhaps talking with her parents about attendance. It is very important to do all you can as a teacher, although in these situations you can only do so much.

Comments: I have seen this problem in schools and teachers tend to call the parents and parents say their child is just sick, etc. If this is a continuous problem, talk to the counselor and have a face to face meet with parent to make sure nothing sketchy is going on and make sure the child is safe.
