  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!)
Maybe you can let him work with a pencil and paper at the computer and just let him know he just needs to click the answers. Is there a way you could print out the questions for him to complete away from the computer? He will not be getting the technology integration but at least he is getting the work done. I know it is tough to have to deal with a student like this but hopefully you can get to the bottom of the problem and your days will be easier!
