Case: Test Retake
For each unit test, I allow a retake. I student must see me for tutoring (or their own tutor) prior to retaking the unit test. I have had a few students take advantage of the retake and allowing them to boost their average quite a bit. However, I still have a handful of students who scored very low on their unit test who have not come for tutoring, shown any interest in retaking the unit test and have scored very low in math the past few years in middle school (looking on SLDS). I thought maybe contacting parents and making them aware of their child's low average in math would help them encourage the student at home. So far, nothing. What should I do from here. I hate to let it slide and it come down to the end of the semester and it be too late for them to do anything?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This seems to be a common problem in education today. Students are complacent and seem happy "just to pass." Or, if the low assessment grade does not pull their grade down to failing, they will not make the effort. I believe a possible solution would be to gain parent involvement. Sending home weekly/bi-weekly detailed grade reports, requiring parents to sign them, and have the students return them would be a start. Often, especially in high school, the parents are not involved in their child's education nearly as much as they need to be. Offering frequent grade reports not only gives the parents an idea of where the child stands in your class, but also gives you documentation for those students that are doing poorly in your class. |

| Comments: Parent involvement is the best idea. I'm sure most of them are not taking advantage of the tutoring because it will affect their after school schedule with their parents. Once their parents realize their grades are suffering, they will schedule tutoring hours. |

| Comments: Great idea, contacting the parents will alert them of their child's low performance. They could encourage their children to study more and take the test retakes. |

| Comments: This is a great idea because it would help the parents to see their child's grades on a regular basis. It seems like hearing their student's low average isn't enough, but I think seeing their grades and the consistent low scoring on tests would help them to see the problem and get involved in the situation. |
