I teach 7th and 8th grade. I teach a remedial reading class, most of the kids in my class this quarter are 8th graders and most of them are on a 4th grade reading level. I've bent over bakwards and have tried all types of things, but they just don't care. They refuse to do the work, they'll just sit there and look off into space. If they do the work they can move rapidly and be on there proper reading level. I've called home to parents and that works for a day or so. My class is considered an elective for these students and they know this, so they don't think that its important. What would your next step be? Would you just say bump it, i've tried and they don't care , or would you continue to push on?what else is there for me to do ?
