B is at the top of the attendance honor roll which will be posted in our October newsletter. She has not missed even one day since August 30. Today she came in her Jimmy John's uniform.
B would be at the very bottom of the "on task" honor roll. She spends a fair amount of time in the bathroom, chatting, on her cell phone (is it always her probation officer?), on Facebook if she can get away with it, or just asking what she should do next. We post-tested in language because she had spent a fair amount of what I thought was productive time on a computer program. Her post-test score did not go up even one point.
Today she did work steadily writing an essay for her probation officer. She didn't want to show me but I noticed it was about the folly of shoplifting.
What is it that keeps her coming to class? How can I turn that into productive work?
