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!) I think that administration should be involved at this point, sending notes home probably does not work because the students already do not care about bringing their child to school so a conference should be held or contact the social worker for a home visit.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think this post offers some good beginning solutions. However, I also think it is important to address why the student is missing school. It is also unfair to assume that the parents simply do not care about their child's attendance.
