  Case: Does not care, should I?
There's a student who comes into class and just doesn't care. We try to get him to learn and do work but he says it's pointless. I discovered that this student doesn't have a father and his mother is on every drug imaginable. How can I expect this student to do any work at all or even give a shit about anything we do in school when he has to think about where he's sleeping at night. Everything I can teach him in a classroom means nothing, why should he even care?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First let the student know that you care an is concern. Build a relationship with your students so that they could trust you and talk to you when they need to. Encourage that student so that he could learn and do activities that will catch his intention and get him involved in the classroom and keeps his mind off home.
