  Case: Test Retake
For each unit test, I allow a retake. I student must see me for tutoring (or their own tutor) prior to retaking the unit test. I have had a few students take advantage of the retake and allowing them to boost their average quite a bit. However, I still have a handful of students who scored very low on their unit test who have not come for tutoring, shown any interest in retaking the unit test and have scored very low in math the past few years in middle school (looking on SLDS). I thought maybe contacting parents and making them aware of their child's low average in math would help them encourage the student at home. So far, nothing. What should I do from here. I hate to let it slide and it come down to the end of the semester and it be too late for them to do anything?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest students who do not take advantage of the tutoring and continue to fail must come in for tutoring during their free time such as recess or activities that they are allowed to miss.

Comments: I agree with you, the students should have to be required to participate in tutoring if they continue to fail.
