  Case: Skipping class
Mrs. Galvin was a sweet, kind, stric teacher who wanted her kids to succeed. One of her students was not a fan of her class. When Mrs. Galvins class roles around, the student decided to skip her class and just go hang out in the bathroom. What are some things Mrs. Galvin and her students do to ensure this does not happen again?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This situation needs to be reported to the office because of its severity of the problem. Most schools have procedures in place to deal with these situations. I would also inform the student's guidance counselor so they can talk with the student and possibly work out a solution. I would not change my teaching based on one student not liking my class or me.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Reporting the issue to the office, getting a guidance counselor involved are good steps to take to address the problem. I agree that changing my teaching based on the actions of one skipping student is not the way to go.
