Case: Too Cool for School
I have a student who was in a dual-enrollment college course for Economics. He was not passing the course so he dropped it midterm. He has been placed in my inclusion Economics course to make up for not receiving his Economics credit. The problem is he hates being in the class and feels he is too smart to be in there. His mother even told our school secretary this when signing him out last week. How can I make this student feel that he is not too good for the class without being offensive? I will say he is a very bright student and should be in my honors class, but his schedule had conflicts so he could not be in that class. I do not want this student to feel too good for and/or hate the class.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It sounds like he needs to be challenged. It is your job to make the environment challenging for him, even if he is not in your honors class. Maybe you can assign him an extra project? |

| Comments: I feel like assigning an extra project is asking too much of the child. He just wants to be challenged and I think the best way to do so is to give him honors work or like others have mention allow him to teach a lesson. |

| Comments: Although it is the teacher's job to make sure the student is being challenged, you didn't really offer that much of a solution. If he feels that he is too good to be in that class, he probably won't do the project because it'd be "busy work." |

| Comments: I do not like this solution because it is not fair to assign an extra project for one student and not the whole class. This could make the student feel as though you are picking on him and he may refuse to do the assignment. |
