The classes that he does the best in are office aide and the online education class. These are both very atypical classes. The online education is course recovery specifically for students with an IEP. This class has allowed him to gain some credits from classes that he failed last semester. I wonder if this class is making him feel that he can miss classes and then just make up the credit later. Most students have to pay for course recovery and take it at night or Saturday, but students with an IEP take this course for free during school time.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Student C is failing several classes and has had poor attendance all year. His absences are mainly excused absences, reaching as many as 17 excused absences. My interviews with the student and with his teachers suggests that this student primarily has an issue with attendance. When I spoke to the student about this concern he did not have much to say on the issue. It seems that his family is enabling his poor attendance by excusing his absences. This suggests that attendance does not seem to be a huge concern for the student or his family. Student C is partially proficient in reading and writing on the CSAP and unsatisfactory in math. The student has a learning disability in math and his score on the CSAP test does reflect this. Student C's poor attendace could also be playing a role in his lower test scores and low growth (on the Acuity test) because he has missed so much instruction time.
