  Case: Motivation
I have a student who has failed every class so far this year, and is currently failing every class he is taking. I have tried to help this student in my classroom, and have even reached out to one of our administrators who works with students like him. She spoke to him for a long time and his mother, and supposedly he was going to start doing better. He was going to attend Saturday School and make up work before the end of the nine-weeks. That didn't happen. He continues to refuse to work in the classroom and won't take any help I offer him. He would rather create conflicts with other students and disruptions with his behavior. How can we try to motivate this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Find out what he is intersted in. And meet him there. Build a relationship with him to appeal to his interests a little more.
