  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 first see about calling her into the guidance counselors office to talk, or to see if anything could be going on at home. I would give the student another chance to come into the class after that; if she continues to not show - I would schedule a parent teacher conference.

Comments: I think that this solution is good, especially the part about a parent teacher conference. If you as the teacher take all of the appropriate measures to help the student succeed and they still choose not to participate in your offered help, then a parent teacher conference would be necessary.

Comments: I agree. I think there maybe other problems and bringing in a counselor could help you get a better insight as to why there is so many absences. The school automatically gets involved if there is a certain number of absences in a month.
