  Case: Incomplete Work
I have a student who never turns in a completed assignment. He will answer a few questions on the classwork or assessment and then turn it in. He doesn't care what grades he makes or any punishment he may receive. I have contacted his mom, administrators and behavior specialist. The only way he completes any assignment is with an adult literally next to him telling him to go on to the next question. When I am able to do this, things are fine; however, I have 27 students in my class and cannot afford to spend that much individual time on a student. He is smart and I believe that this is all choice, not ability.

What do I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It sounds like this students wants/needs constant attention. I would help this student one on one as much as possible. Also, he may lack confidence so anyway you can praise him with positivity would help.

Comments: I like this solution. Working with the student one on one and praising them when they answer a question correctly may help the student to realize that they are capable of doing the assignment correctly.
