I am a grad school student and on the side I do part time tutoring for low income kids. There is a girl in particular that is severely behind in school and I have been closely working with her to get her on track. I have gone above and beyond my role of tutor (which is free by the way). I have given her special attention, extra sessions, and more. I talked to her mom, stressing how crucial it is to read with her at home, and go over things I tell them to do, but each and everytime THEY DON'T! I find it so frustrating that she doesn't listen to me that I am ready to almost give up. What can I do? This little girl is alarmingly behind and I am more than willing to help, but the mom will not listen to me and each session she comes in with the work undone and lessons unlearned. Help!!!!
