You know that from observing him work he is a bright student but he is always trying to circumvent having to do classwork by socializing or vying for your attention. What are some ways that you could help him to focus more in a positive way? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try seating him next to students who are not as talkative. I would also give him praise whenever he is on task which may help motivate him.
