I’ll always ask every student as they enter “how’s today been” or something along those lines. This student would just smile initially and be very polite or be very kind, now they’re quite the opposite. I raised it with the relevant staff as it was odd behaviour, they did nothing. Raised it again, nothing. Then eventually it was sorted and they spoke with the relevant members of staff.
Things briefly got better But again something seems wrong, they’re just very pissed off at something and it’s clear. I’m not sure if it’s my teaching or maybe even me. But I have flagged it again so I don’t know whether a chat with me and maybe my hod and the students hoy might be worth it to see if we can do a group meet to discuss the lesson side of things? As I’m noticing a head down approach but just lack of interest all through time. I tried to have a chat with the student in afternoon form time to see if all was ok. I just got “yep” I always ask at the end of the lesson “all ok” to just make them feel better but I get nothing back.
I just don’t know now whether their attitude to learning is great and tbh I don’t want to see anyone feel upset that I teach. So if it is Me I would want to fix it as they were a really good student.
How do i proceed? I also think I have tried my hardest now, and there really is no more I can do to make sure they’re happy in my classroom?
