My experiences there have not been pleasant in the past and I can't get past those feelings. I try to avoid that office at all costs. I will copy your response and e-mail it to him. He's a good guy--he'll try to help her. Thanks and I will keep you informed.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-34048748005952114852009-03-14T17:24:00.000-04:002009-03-14T17:24:00.000-04:00this is actually to simple to spend so much time o...this is actually to simple to spend so much time on. My guess this young lady is extremely distracted and has become unfocused. Clearly education is not her priority. <BR/><BR/>I suggest you look at her data closely to see what her past schooling looks like. <BR/><BR/>I would also recommend a Guidance Referral. If your Principal came out and was part of the conversation with the girl at least once, it behooves him to get involved with the Guidance referral. It would seem that a sit down with the Principal, Guidance Counselor, Parents and maybe even you would help this young lady tremendously. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes an emotional confrontation like that can be the thing that turns a kid around. <BR/><BR/>March into your Principal's office and ask him to get involved. The only way to help students is to get everyone involved.... It takes a village to raise a child. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like you are one of the Village's warriors and wise elders all wrapped up in one. <BR/><BR/>If that doesn't work, I have a few other concoctions in my bag of tricks. However, you have to start there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-56713376438849652822009-03-14T08:41:00.000-04:002009-03-14T08:41:00.000-04:00** The Educational Scientist is in his laboratory ...** <I>The Educational Scientist is in his laboratory concocting a solution to this challenge.</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
