Case: I just cannot do this!
After teaching for a few years, I have witnessed many students who say "I cannot do this." However, these students always seem to find a way to work through their problems and become successful in the end. However, I had a student you was very defiant in knowing that they would never understand anything I taught. For example, one day I took time during class to physical sit down with this student and work step by step with them on a problem. In the end, they believed we were working it incorrectly and completely erased all the work we had just accomplished. They kept believing that they were stupid and would never get the material that was being taught. It gets frustrating here a student believe this about themselves and it seems that I cannot do anything to change their mind. What can I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have seen students behave like this, and it has been linked to behavior. The student would say "I'm stupid" out loud as soon as I passed out the work. The student was looking for a way to get attention due to lack of attention at home. I ignored the student's comments, and continued teaching the class. While I walk around the room to check the student's work, this student would ask me questions about the assignment. I made it a point to only answer the questions that were related to the work, and I never made comments back to his self-hatred. He still wanted attention from me, but he only got it if he was doing his work. |
