Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If I had a student with a short intention span I would see if there was something that would distract them long enough to pay attention. This sounds weird but it make sense if you think about it. If the student seems to not be able to sit in one spot for to long give them a couple desks in the back of the room and tell them they can move between those three seats 3 different times. It keeps them thinking about things and they tend to pay attention more. You could also give they student a stress ball or something of that nature. A lot of students just need something to do with their hands so that they can pay attention a little better.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: The idea is not really ideal but I think it may actual work.
