Case: Careless Students
I have had students in the past who rock the "I don't care" attitude. However, I have one particular student this year who have them all beat. He is failing every subject and giggles about it. He serves break detention and academic lunch every day to make up assignments that he did not do or refused to do in class. He still does not complete them. He is very disrespectful to his teachers and to his grandmother that is raising him. We really are at a loss as what to do for this child to make him care. I can help a student who is struggling on any given day, I can't make them care. We have tried everything with this child. HELP!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest having a conference with the student. Sometimes a student with that "I don't care" attitude thinks that they have no one willing to help them. I had a student with that same perspective and after a few one on one conversations with him he began to change his attitude towards school and learning. This particular student came from a not so wealthy home life and absolutely did not care about school. Once I showed him that I cared about him being successful in school, then he started putting forth more effort. |

Comments: This is a great first step in turning the student's attitude around. There may be much more going on in the students mind and at home than we see in the classroom and confronting the child in a caring manner may be one way to get to the root of the problem. |

Comments: It is always hard to determine what causes students to have such poor attitudes towards school. Getting to the bottom of what could be going on outside of school as well as how they feel in general can be a big help. Letting your students know you are on their side makes a difference. |

Comments: A student-teacher conference seems to be the best option for the situation. Being alone with the student could cause him/her to drop the "I don't care" attitude and actually be real about what is going on that is causing the problems. |
