  Case: lack of parrental involvement
Sometimes I have students that are so eager to learn, but then I realize they have absolutely no support at home. How can I divide myself to help all the students that actually want extra help? And how is a nice way to ask the parents again after being ignored the first time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The lack of parental involvement is very common in schools today. Unfortunately, we are not able to divide ourself into two people. A possible solution is to pair the student with a buddy in the classroom that mastered the task at hand. You can also request that the parents sign homework each night. At my school, we set up home visits or community visits at the beginning of the school year. This helps with building parent-student-teacher relationships. A nice way to tell parents again is just to bring it up in a conversation which explains the student's strengths and then tell the parent not to forget to help at home to continue success in the classroom.
