While he is very smart, he has not been exposed to all of the content I am presenting. He doesn't pay attention and thus does poorly on assessments. When he receives small group remediation he does fine. How can I get him to pay attention the FIRST time? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I feel it is important to have a conference with his parents. The student may feel that he knows everything, but he needs to take his education more seriously. It is important to document data and present it to his parents. Set up a goal that his parents, you, and the student can agree to so that everyone is working to make the student the best he can be in class. He needs to participate in class and once he sees he has support then that may be all it takes to get him on board. Each child is different and parents can't help if they do not know there is a problem.
