Obtaining grade, attendance, and conduct data from school records would be the least obtrusive approach as it does not require any additional actions or involvement from the students or teachers. It simply involves accessing existing data that is already being collected by the school. Observing the students in class or obtaining vide tapes may be obtrusive as it would require the students to be aware of being monitored, potentially affecting their behavior. Interviewing the child may also be obtrusive and could potentially influence their responses.
