  Case: Careless Students
I have had students in the past who rock the "I don't care" attitude. However, I have one particular student this year who have them all beat. He is failing every subject and giggles about it. He serves break detention and academic lunch every day to make up assignments that he did not do or refused to do in class. He still does not complete them. He is very disrespectful to his teachers and to his grandmother that is raising him. We really are at a loss as what to do for this child to make him care. I can help a student who is struggling on any given day, I can't make them care. We have tried everything with this child. HELP!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would consult the behavior specialist and create a plan that all teachers agree with before bringing it to the student and working toward a better hand in rate. Also check to insure the classes are not to advanced for the student. Sometimes if students do not understand the content they will resort to the I don't care attitude because if they refuse to work it looks better to their peers than admitting they do not understand the work.
