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!) I would try and use the connection you have and expand it to the other classes. They may get bogged down in the unlikability of certain teachers, but try not to play ball and just speak on the consequences that skipping will have for their academic success. As you noted, punishment will not encourage them to disengage with the behavior and will likely only cause them to double down, so you'll need to walk a line of empathy as to why this apathy has set in.
