He was not passing the course so he dropped it midterm. He has been placed in my inclusion Economics course to make up for not receiving his Economics credit. The problem is he hates being in the class and feels he is too smart to be in there. His mother even told our school secretary this when signing him out last week. How can I make this student feel that he is not too good for the class without being offensive? I will say he is a very bright student and should be in my honors class, but his schedule had conflicts so he could not be in that class. I do not want this student to feel too good for and/or hate the class. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I agree that the student needs to challenged and the teaching needs to be differentiated to meet the needs of all her students. Once the student completes his work, have the student tutor his classmates. Sometimes, students learn better from their peers.                 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: If I were in this situation, I would do this because the student feels that the class is too easy. Maybe allowing him to help others will keep him interested. Rated On: October 11, 2017 9:29 pm Rated By: NaGava
