  Case: Student refuses to do math
I have a student who refuses to do math on the computer (fastmath). If I force him to, he breaks down and throws a huge fit. Any advice to get him to do the work that is mandated by the county?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Definitely talk to the student privately to see what the issue is. If it is a simple I don't want to do it, then take corrective action like lunch detention, no recess, time out, go to the principle, etc. If it is that they do not understand it, then have the school organize a learning plan for him to catch up and not get so frustrated. Keep in touch with mom and dad and make sure they are working with him so that he can continue to do better or even suggest a tutor.

Comments: I agree first you need to try to figure out why he doesn't want to do it in the first place. Then from there, try to find a solution and if it doesn't work reinforecmentwill make him more likely to do it.
