Case: Always Late
Jorge is a new student to school. He has recently moved from Mexico with his family. When he arrived, he knew no English. He is slowly improving, but he is far behind his classmates. He receives ESOL services, and help from a bilingual assistant. However, the bilingual assistant cannot spend time doing her ESOL curriculum because she must help him catch up on his classroom. He misses at least 30 minutes of classroom time every morning, because his parents always drop him off late. His parents speak no English and are not accustomed to the concepts of early and late in the United States, since they recently moved from Mexico. What should the classroom teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It may be beneficial to ask the bilingual assistant to compose a letter for the parents informing them of the school rules. As the parents are not accustomed it is important to provide them with a translated copy of school rules and expectations. In addition, the parents may have transportation issues and have no way of communicating their concerns. The teacher should contact the administrators in order to explore other possible solutions. |

| Comments: I agree that you need to contact the parents informing them that being on time to school is important and I think you should explain why. I do not think you should do this in a letter because who knows if the parents will ever get the letter if the student takes it home, and also who is to say that the parents will not just throw it away. I think if you can get your bilingual assistant to call the parents and let them know the information it would be best, and I think it is important to provide an explanation to why it is important as well. |

| Comments: Having a written documented translated into the parents' native language would be really beneficial to them as well as having English on the other side to help them learn English. parents need to be aware of school rules, expectations, transportation, and communicating concerns with teachers. Teachers need to contact administrators and bilingual assistants for help and other solutions. |

| Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this because this is the safest and easiest way to handle the situation. It is a delicate situation, and you do not want to offend anyone, so getting a translator and the administration involved is what can happen to ensure the situation does not get out of control. |
