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 know that most teachers love to have their lunch period to themselves, but sometime we make sacrifices for what we want. If the student's success is important to you, have her eat lunch with you and get as much work done as possible during that time period until she's caught up. I would also speak with her connections teachers about keeping the student during that time as well, especially if it's P.E. or something the student enjoys. Missing out on the activities the student enjoys may motivate them to come to school more. Another thing that may motivate the student is a reward for attending school for so many days consecutively. You just have to be creative. |

| Comments: I would never do this! This is wrong! A teacher needs to have lunch so that when they return to teaching the class they have enough energy to provide great teaching/attention to their students. |

| Comments: While I like the idea of having the student eating lunch with the teacher, I am most certainly not a fan of the student missing out on student activities they enjoy. It won't motivate them to come to school. If anything, it will push them away and make them not want to come. They will constantly think that they aren't going to get to participate in their favorite activity, so there is no point in going to school. |

| Comments: I would not do this. I would not remove the student from the social setting of lunch. The student could view this as a punishment. |
