One student refused to work with another, so he was given the choice of either working with the student and being able to use a computer to complete their project, or he could do the project by himself on paper. The student chose to work by himself. The next class period I had pulled him for small group. He refused to participate because he was sad that he couldn't work with who he wanted. On top of that the student he didn't want to work with was in the small group too. I tried talking about how that wasn't very nice to say that, but he continued to mope for the entire lesson. Could I have done anything differently? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Talk to the student and let them know what the issue is and why it is an issue. Does the student have a disability (such as autism)that makes social interactions an issue? If not, then I would not let the student rule you. You are the teacher and the student needs to learn how to work with others. This will only do the student some good and prepare them for real life.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: “If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this” Rated On: March 2, 2017 4:09 am Rated By: eVeQat
