  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!)
Does the student have any disability? Things going on at home? At school? Does the student have an IEP or 504? All these questions need to be asked when having a student like this. If he does not have an IEP, I suggest he gets one so that he is able to complete his work. It seems like he is a smart kid.
