a question for teachers

[2shoes]

ds missed a afterschool support session. he was supposed to go and catch up on his ICT coursework. without going in to the long story. can you answer this.
if you have 2 pupils. both need to finish work for gcse. one set of parents are interested and approacable and other set don't give you there email and don't seem interested.
would you give more attention to the first or second??

We try and do our best for the students with or without parental support. It's harder without, obviously, because it's more helpful to have parents backing up what we do and say about the importance of schoolwork, but we'd give equal attention to both students. If it's missing courework, subject teachers will have supervised sessions for them to catch up and just keep hauling them at lunchtimes/after school in until it's done.

Why?

Would approach them both, but would be more optomistic about response from supportive parents.

However would feel student with non supportive parents may need more support as they aren't getting any at home

as i said ds missed this support session. he was a bit put out that the teacher singled him out and not his mate.(and she emailed me when. his teacher emails me I reply and try and sort it out.)He said the teacher didn't have his mates email.he also said his mate has more work to catch up on. so it just got me thinking.
