  Case: Sleeping in Class
Mrs. Will has noticed that some of her students are falling asleep in class which leads them to not grasping the content of the lesson and scoring lower on tests. What can Mrs. Will do to keep these students awake and ensure that they've learned the lessons?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If Mrs. Will feels that she has produced an active class that would prevent this student from being bored, she should be concerned about what's going on when this student is not at school. I have had this problem before. I would suggest a parent meeting. In the parent meeting I had, we found that the student had been playing on his cell phone and computer until late. After our meeting, the mother took away the cell phone and the computer. It was life changing for this student in class, all of a sudden I was able to look into his eyes during class, instead of the top of his head.

Comments: I agree; that's the first question that came to my mind - was the student getting enough rest at night and what may be going on in the home. Today's students have a lot of distractions, such as technology, and challenges, such as homelessness or parents who have to work multiple jobs, etc... It's great that this student had authoritative parents who took action.
