  Case: Student who avoids subjects
I know a teacher that has a student who constantly goes into the restroom when a subject they do not like it being taught. The student gets up without permission and will lock themself in the restroom for 30 minutes (about the length of the lesson). When the teacher has talked to him about this the student will say that he has to go and that it is an emergency. But this emergency will happen everyday during social studies, so it usually occurs around the same time. How would you handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would question how certain the teacher is that this is subject avoidance. It seems like a rather drastic measure for it to occur daily and without permission. What is the transition before this lesson? Is it another lesson or is it lunch, gym, or other social activity? If so it is quite possible something is occurring during that time that is effecting the child directly after. They could be lonely, being bullied, or any number of things. the point is that there could be a great number of reasons for this behavior other than task avoidance. I would try to rule some of those out before I began looking into the possibility that it has something to do with social studies.
