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!)
This sounds like an underlying case of something else. I would call a parent teacher conference, with school personnel present. Do NOT attack or single out the parents, but instead explain the importance of getting their child to school. Perhaps it is a transportation issue, or something else. If the problem persists, I would suggest taking the case to the school's social worker. They are trained to handle cases just like this. In fact keeping your child deliberately from school is a case of abuse, and should be handled seriously. |

| Comments: This is a great response for a solution! It is in fact considered abuse in which the school's social worker needs to take care of. As a teacher, you need to call the parents about the issue and document every time you do call (even if they do not answer). The administration team meets every so often and talks about absences. If a student in your class gets flagged, then you need to have yourself covered by showing you have attempted to remediate the problem. The school will then get the social worker involved if you have not done so already. |
