Case: Repeater still struggles
Mrs. Smith has an 8th grade student in her ELA classroom that has had an emotional past and also suffers physically. This student's mother was killed in a tragic car accident 6 years ago. She has a history of sex abuse by a family member 2 years ago. Along with these terrible experiences, she has a speech problem that cannot be fixed and expresses family feuds continually with Mrs. Smith. This is the student's second year in 8th grade. She cannot focus and even talks under her breath to her self in class without being a distraction. She struggles continually in class and especially on tests. Mrs. Smith has talked with guidance but only gets that she doesn't qualify for special education. What are some suggestions you might offer Mrs. Smith for this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I suggest that you speak again with guidance about getting some counseling for the student and possibly the family. The issue may have nothing to do with academics. It seems as if she has emotional issues. If guidance doesn't hear you then talk to your principal. A meeting with family members is needed to see if this is taking place at home too. Continue to be an advocate for this student because it seems like she really needs so help and no one is paying attention. |

| Comments: I agree that the situation does not need to be dropped, and that the student needs to know that there is an adult whom she can trust that will advocate for her. |

| Comments: Personal lives of students always affect the way they perform academically. If the teacher can get to the root of the problem, she can possibly turn her academics around. |
