Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Parents that are unresponsive I have a Kindergartner student that I want to retain next year. She is not ready to move to first grade and the parents do not work with her at home either, as I have highly suggested. However, I have sent three emails, two letters home and left a voice mail to set up a parent-teacher conference. I have not heard one response from the parents. What else is left to do? How do I get these parents to care about their child's academic progress? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In my school district, they usually send the parent coordinator out to visit the parents. Some parents simply do not have a ride. Although, I am unsure if that is the case here. My administration has also went to the lengths of suspending the students until a parent conference. If the parents dont want the students at home with them, that forces them to come in.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this is a good approach but I also don't think it's fair to the child to suspend them because their parents wont communicate.
