Having directions that are not clear or too complicated can lead to misunderstanding, which can be the reason why children are not on task. If the children don t understand what they are supposed to be doing, then they are going to get off task or even never get on task. They can concern time periods of individual lessons, specific topics, grading periods, SOL s or the entire year. Important outcomes are now becoming SOL oriented. Making sure that the children know the SOL material and can pass the SOLs has become an encompassing concern for teachers and schools.
Some schools also have overarching objectives.
They are usually presented in slogan format such as a commitment to something. An unresponsive parent produces many hardships not only for the teacher, but also for the child of that parent. The teacher must try furthering techniques other than the regular one, in order to successfully communicating with the parent. This can create some problems if important information needs to reach the parent. For example if the importance of doing homework is not stressed then it probably is not getting done at home and the child may start to fall behind in classwork.
