Case: Parents who make excuses
Mr. Bailey has a student who is unmotivated and never completes his assignments. He has contacted the parent through phone calls and emails; however, every time he interacts with the parent, she makes excuses for him not completing his work such as, "Well, he didn't complete that assignment because I had to work late" or "I had the same problem with his brother." What should Mr. Bailey do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Give this child an opportunity to do it at school. This is where our jobs are tough. Families like this have made excuses for themselves or has had someone make excuses for them their whole lives. It trickles down and becomes a never-ending cycle. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution because it gives the student the opportunity to turn it around. Instead of being able to find an excuse the student will have to complete the work. This may help the child gain the confidence to be able to complete the assignment regardless of the situation. |

| Comments: This solution gives the student the opportunity to have control over how he does or does not complete his homework. Communicating with the parent is essential to having them recognize the student is the one who is losing out. Additional advantage is the teacher is available if the student has questions about the assignment. |

| Comments: I think this is a good suggestion but there may not be time at school to do homework. It is meant to be practice for home. If the child is not able to do the work without parental input it could be that the homework is too difficult to be assigned as independent work. The parent should not have to help with homework-just set up a place and time for the child to complete it. |
