Case: Teacher's Child Lacking Motivation
I have a teacher's child in my classroom this year. He is extremely smart and capable, however, has a very hard time getting anything done in the classroom. When I have conversations with his teacher mom, she does not seem concerned with this. If I send the work home with him, it does not get completed or returned. Our school has a strict policy on not taking away recess from students, and I have tried setting a time on his desk, walking by him and redirecting him often, and moving his desk closer to me. Nothing has worked. How can I push this child to his fullest potential and help his mother realize that he is very capable but lacks motivation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Sometimes would students are not motivated they are not been challenged enough in the classroom material so see if the student needs more challenging assignments. If this fails find ways to motivate the child and find ways to keep them engaged and the mother should understand the issue with her child since she is a teacher as well. If she gets upset about taking away recess you clearly need to say I can't show favoritism to your son and bend the rules just because you work here. |

Comments: I agree that the student may not be challenged enough and is bored and uninterested. The teacher needs to try giving the students assignments that more rigorous and see how he performs. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. This was the issue that my brother had in class, so stimulating the child more can definitely help, if assignments are not challenging enough it results and boredom and acting out. Finding ways to motivate the child would also be helpful. |
