Ok, so after reading week 4 discussion board, I'm faced with the dilemma of attendance. What I mean is, my struggling students are also the students that have a chronic attendance problem, OR no one is working with the child at home. I fault the parents on this given that this is a kindergarten classroom that I am referring to! What a shame.
Even after speaking with the parents about this, it still has not been given top priority.
We will see if this is effective for the students or not.
I know how frustarting that is when students do not attend and then when they are there, you know their parents are not doing what they need to do to help them be successful. This is so common and very sad. I am really anxious to see how your research turns out. I often wonder if they are so "done" after school they just can't learn another thing. I have that problem with my students also...and they are fifth and sixth graders. I will continue to watch your blog and wish you luck!!
