Case: Homebound Student
I have a student currently that is homebound due to health issues. Every week I send materials to this student- the handouts I will use, vocabulary lists, etc. for the homebound teacher to use. However, I teach foreign language and many of the things I do in class are organic and refer to classroom issues and I feel this student is not gaining what she really needs to communicate. She also has not turned in any assignments in over three weeks at this point. I have talked to her mother about waiting until her daughter can be in class to try a foreign language or shifting to online learning so she can move at her own pace, but the mother is resistant. I really think this move- either to try again next year or to go to online learning- would be best for the student. How should I approach the situation without stepping on the mom's toes too much?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Before speaking with the admin team I would try maybe recording how to do the work then the student can see you do the work etc. Then if this does not work I would then speak with admin to express concerns. I would check with the homebound teacher to see if they have the homework, but I would apply the same homework rules for the homebound student as to those who are physically present in the classroom. |

| Comments: I like your solution on recording the lesson and also speaking with the homebound teacher, but I disagree with homework rules being the same for the homebound student and the students physically present. Would it be fair if the homebound student was on medication that compromised their ability to focus and think? Could you do homework if the effects of chemo therapy left you in agonizing pain in nausea all day? How about doing homework as a new amputee? Would it be possible to focus then? Expectations should always be fair. |
