  Case: D in citizenship
A fifth-grade girls talks incessantly during class. After several warnings, you call her parents and inform them you will have to give her a D in citizenship unless she stops interrupting the lessons and the learning of the other students. The parents ask for a conference. At the conference, the parents suggest that you: Move the student away from the other students who talk; move her to the front of the room so she has more teacher supervision; read her file (she has a reading comprehension problem); consider the student's history of grades in citizenship (she received all marks of "outstanding" and "satisfactory" the year before); allow the student to bring her books home to complete work not done during class (she told her parents she could not take books home); become more alert to what is going on in class (the student told her parents that other students talked to her first—she didn't begin the conversations). What are your thoughts about what you might do in this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In this situation I would take the parents suggestions as constructive criticism and I would move the child to the front row where distractions would be minimized. Also I would do my research on the student and see how well she did in her classes before mine when it comes to this subject.

Comments: If the student was at the same school a year ago it would be smart to ask her previous teacher.
