  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!)
It is important to get to the root of the problem. If you can find out what the problem is then you can work towards fixing it. See if he is motivated by using different forms of testing like on the computer or orally.
