I have to tap the student in order to get her attention. I discussed my observation with the parent and asked if they had noticed this and what could be the cause of it? They replied that nothing is wrong with the child, I just must not be saying it loud enough or perhaps there is too much going on around the student. However, even when I am only a foot behind the student saying her name, she still does not seem to hear me. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) First ask if the student has any issues with hearing if not, I would explain to the student how it is respectful to acknowledge someone that is talking to you.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No 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 No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This is not the right way to go about talking to a student. The connotation around it is in a way rude. I would try to be a bit nicer about it. I wouldn't say they're being outright disrespectful, they may just not be aware of their surroundings even if they do not have hearing difficulty. Also the student may not be aware of any hearing difficulty especially if the student is younger.

So, implying to them that the are being disrespectful could upset the child.

I don't like this suggestion because it is not likely to solve the problem. Chalking it up to a lack of reselect takes away from the bigger picture.
