  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!)
I think that maybe you should get an administrator or school counselor involved. They might be able to approach the situation from a different perspective.
