Case: Uninvolved Parent
Mrs. Fish has a student in her 1st grade class whose parents have several children and is not involved in any of their school work. Sometimes the child doesn't show up for school and sometimes the student comes to school hungry, tired, or dirty. Mrs. Fish knows that there may be money issues, especially with so many children, but what can she do to help motivate these parents and students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that the guidance councelor should be notified, or some action needs to be taken. The child might be in danger at home and need better care. Also, I would offer the child help or somehow tutoring (after class, during lunch, recess, etc.) on her homework. Enforce that the parents sign an agenda each day, or something similar. Try to reach out to the parents, and even show up at the home if nothing else works. |

Comments: I believe this is the most appropriate solution to the problem. There is clearly something not right about the situation and since there is concern, the guidance counselor should be notified. All schools have a policy and procedure when dealing with a situation like this one. Everything should be documented and approached calmly. A teacher cannot force parents to be involved therefore we have to do our best to motivate the parents in helping and motivate the student to do well themselves. It might be difficult to take extra time out of the day for the teacher to provide the extra help but I'm sure there is a way. |

Comments: I like this idea because we need to know if our students need help or if they have trauma. Some schools have a free breakfast that the student could use as well. |
