  Case: Homework Help
A girl in the class I am observing never does her homework. When asked about this, she says it's because no one is there to help her in the home. What can be done about this from an intern's perspective?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a very blunt discussion with her. We have this same issue at our school, mainly in our math classes. Students never doing their homework give the same excuse. However, these students have notes and resources (given to them by teachers) that can help them. While students might not be able to always complete homework independently, or even correctly, they should always be attempting it with the resources they have in their possession like notes or other classwork.

Comments: Though students may have access to resources, some of them need that adult support in order to be successful.

Comments: This is not what I would do. I dislike this solution because it comes across as aggressive instead of helpful. The student needs more than a blunt discussion to help them with completing the homework. The solution was also not very respectful to the student.
