  Case: Motivation
I have a student who has failed every class so far this year, and is currently failing every class he is taking. I have tried to help this student in my classroom, and have even reached out to one of our administrators who works with students like him. She spoke to him for a long time and his mother, and supposedly he was going to start doing better. He was going to attend Saturday School and make up work before the end of the nine-weeks. That didn't happen. He continues to refuse to work in the classroom and won't take any help I offer him. He would rather create conflicts with other students and disruptions with his behavior. How can we try to motivate this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest talking to the student one on one about whats going on in their life and get to an idea of what they want to do in life. Sometimes students need to see that the teacher cares about something other than their math grade before they begin to comply with their directives.
