Greetings,
"Help me!" a second grade teacher grabs the counselor after school in total frustration, "I can't seem to get Matt to stay on task without my sitting right by his side the entire time. He won't start the classwork. He just sits there in a daze. He might pick up his pencil to write and 5 seconds later, 5 minutes later, 10 minutes later nothing is written. Half the time he tries to disturb others at this table group by talking or humming. He is missing so much and he isn't learning anything. I am afraid he is falling way behind the others just because he can't stay on task. At the parent conference they were just as frustrated at home getting homework done."
