Case: Needy Students
I currently teach 8th grade and my students are so very needy. They constantly ask the same exact questions and want me to give them the answer. They do not want to look for the information themselves. I can stand in front of the classroom and provide them with explanations for specific questions on a handout and as soon as I hand it out, they are asking me questions over the topics I just covered minutes ago. When I give students independent practice, they cannot do any of it on their own. They want me to hold their hand and walk them through each question even after I have already given them notes with all of the information in them. What can I do to encourage my students to be more independent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a 6th grade teacher, I have a bit of experience with this also. Sometimes I think it is less of a needy student and more of a lazy student. I have a saying that when your hand is up, your ears are closed. Often, they want to ask questions while I am in the middle of giving directions. My solution is they are not allowed to raise their hand if I am talking, AND they have to try on their own first. Those that do and are successful get some sort of prize. It is as small as a cap eraser or as grand as a treat, or a special chair for the day. It works wonders, especially when they are made aware of how many questions they ask. |

| Comments: While I may agree that if they have their hand up they are already preoccupied with another thought, but sometimes it actually does have something to do with the lesson and could be a question that other students have as well. |

| Comments: I do not think all needy students are lazy students and I think telling students not to raise their hand while you are talking might discourage them from ever raising their hand and therefore never ask for help. |

| Comments: While I definitely understand the hand raising when giving instructions, my concern for that is what if they forget what they were going to ask? |
