Case: Great grades, Bad attendance
There is one student in the class with exceptional grades. They are excelling in reading and math. However, they are on the verge of retainment due to excessive absences. I have spoken with the student and sent notes home to the parents. What could I do? I don't want the student held back.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To be honest, the most you can do is have a meeting with the parents and school administrator. If the parents arent sending their kid to school, the most you can do is try to convince them the importance because their child is about to be retained when he doesn't need to be. Call the parents until they answer. |

Comments: Definitely try to get in contact with the parents and tell them what's going on in full. You need to figure out if it's the student that's holding themselves back, or if the parents aren't taking them to school. |

Comments: This is an unfortunate situation and there is only so much you can do. I agree with this solution of just continuing to contact the parents, but I feel that after a while the school should take over because something could be going on that the parents don't want to discuss. |

Comments: I agree this is definitely something that needs to be brought up to the parents. If there is an issue getting the child to school maybe they can figure out a carpool situation. It is not fair to punish a student by holding them back when they have no control over their absences. |
