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 think the first step you should take is to figure out why the student is behaving like this. If it is to escape from doing the work themselves you should come with incentives to get the student through the class work and gradually offer less rewards until the student is doing the work themselves. Avoiding work like this could also be a sign that the work is either too hard or too easy for the students intellectual level and it might be beneficial to have the student assessed by a school administrator. If the student is behaving this way for attention I would start to reward the student every time he/she is completing the work to promote more on task behavior. |

| Comments: I like the approach you went with trying to get the student to behave I would not have thought of that. That is an excellent way of getting students to do there work and if that doesn't work, getting administration involved is a good back up plan. |
