I have build rapport with my students so they stopped skipping my class, but they keep skipping other core classes. I do not know how to get my students to care about school or their future. I tell them I will write them up, or call their parents, but it does not seem to upset them. How do I get my students to care about school and about their futures? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You have to follow through with the threats, you can't just make them and not do them. I think if you called the parents or wrote enough referrals, the students would eventually care. Get administration involved as skipping is a very serious problem.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Administration may have some useful tricks to get students to refocus.

All the referrals and discipline won't work, especially if the parents at home don't discipline if they receive bad news.

Students react bad to the negative enforcement. Try positive ones first.
