Dealing with the Challenging Student
I find that when I have a student who is experiencing "many" obstacles which are not allowing them to be in class, on time and preparred to learn, simply asking them to stay after class and having a 1 on 1 discussion with them helps but you must be preparred to have given alot of prior thought to the particular issues at hand and be able to offer solutions to each of the reasons behind what is causing the issues leaving no room for excuses on the students part.
