He is currently taking it for a fourth time in a class with a special education teacher. Although John is not identified as a special education student, the regular ed and special ed teachers feel that this student should be served. His parents are constantly unavailable for conferencing (unless he gets in trouble for drugs), administration is little support to the growing problems, and he is a constant disruption to the classroom environment. What can the regular and special education teacher do to help this student become successful with the Geometry content? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would suggest pulling this student out of the gen. ed classroom and putting them in a special ed classroom. You never want to make students feel less than successful however, in this student's case he needs to pass Geometry! After taking the same class three times there was obviously something about the way in which the content was presented that john did not understand. Special education classrooms often have less students and therefore John will be offered more one on one support with the material.                 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: Obviously there is something about Geometry that John is not getting. Putting him in a special ed. classroom may help him focus more because there are less students which in turn means he may have more one-on-one help from the teacher that he may not have had in his other classroom. Also, maybe you can suggest some type of tutor to the student, like a classmate who's a friend of theirs because friends have ways of explaining things better sometimes.

This could help increase his chances of passing Geometry this time around.
