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!) Try connecting with the student, have them stay after class one day and have a genuine conversation with them. Ask about their life back home, what they like to do in their free time, and if anything is bothering them. From this information, you can tell whether or not they are healthy and/or need help.
