  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!)
You can set up a behavior management plan where the student is given a sheet each week. The child gets a stamp at the end of every day, and if the child has 5 stamps at the end of the week then you can offer the student a bag of chips or a soda. I've seen other teachers have success with this system.
