  Case: Unmotivated Student
I have a student who refuses to take any type of assessment seriously, not to mention his lack of effort in the classroom daily. I have called home several times, he has seen the counselor, he has a BIP, but he still will not take a test seriously. He bubbles in answers or circles them and then lays his head down. No amount of prodding, bribing, encouragement has helped yet. What haven't I tried that might help? How do I motivate him?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you have exhausted ever possible way of correcting this, then there's not much to do but to ignore him. I've learned that some students are desperate for attention, even if it is negative attention, they thrive on it. By ignoring him, he may see that his ploys for attention no longer work, and he may make a turn around for your attention.

Comments: I don't think ignoring him is the right solution. I think that the counselor and the teacher need to collaborate further. Perhaps with the behavior specialist.
