He tries to turn work in late and refuses to take no for an answer. Recently, when his teacher asked for students to turn in their test corrections he asked her if he could turn them in then next day. When she asked why he said he needed help with the problems. Students had been given 2 and a half weeks to complete the corrections and the teacher was available multiple times for help before and after school and during class so the teacher refused to accept the late work. The student continued to question why he wasn't able to turn in the work and would not accept the explanations given. How do you address this without getting into a power struggle? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Students do need to take responsibility for their own work. However, if this situation is causing the student to fall behind academically the teacher might want to come up with a plan to help the student. The teacher can conference with the student about due dates; have the student sign each time a conference on the due dates is implemented. A copy of the due dates can be in a folder with the work that needs to be done. The student may have difficulty with deadlines and need to have a visual schedule of due dates on hand. The teacher may also need to conference with the parents.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would do this.
