  Case: I just cannot do this!
After teaching for a few years, I have witnessed many students who say "I cannot do this." However, these students always seem to find a way to work through their problems and become successful in the end. However, I had a student you was very defiant in knowing that they would never understand anything I taught. For example, one day I took time during class to physical sit down with this student and work step by step with them on a problem. In the end, they believed we were working it incorrectly and completely erased all the work we had just accomplished. They kept believing that they were stupid and would never get the material that was being taught. It gets frustrating here a student believe this about themselves and it seems that I cannot do anything to change their mind. What can I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since all prior attempts have not been successful, maybe the student has a learning disability and it may help to refer the student for the IEP process.

Comments: To automatically assume that the student has an IEP without researching it is a hasty decision to make. I would suggest doing some research about the student first, then try all other routes and use this as a last resort.

Comments: This would not really help the student unless they got tested and you have to make sure its ok with the parents. The student may be doing this just to get out of work or just to get attention. Which doesn't mean they have a disability and need an IEP.

Comments: I do not think this is the case and should not be assumed about the student. I think a meeting would be appropriate to see if the child is being called "stupid" or other things are triggering him to feel this way. I don't think the student has any issues to where he needs an IEP.
