  Case: Genuis!
I have one student who feels as though he is so far ahead of us that he doesn't need to pay attention. While he is very smart, he has not been exposed to all of the content I am presenting. He doesn't pay attention and thus does poorly on assessments. When he receives small group remediation he does fine. How can I get him to pay attention the FIRST time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the student is refusing to pay attention because he feels that he is too smart then he should learn through natural consequence that he needs to start paying attention. If there is more going on then maybe the teacher should speak one on one with the student and ask what they can do together to help him be successful.
