  Case: Purposefully Being Disobedient
In a class I was an intern for, there was a young boy who would purposefully not follow directions given. For example, when told to create a poem with a drawing, the student wrote a poem and turned it in with no drawing. The teacher asked the boy to create a drawing, and about one minute later, the boy came back with pencil scribbles all over the paper. Mind you, this student has plenty of his artwork on the wall (along with his other classmates) and seemed to be in a hurry throughout this behavior. The teacher let him know the drawing must be done with the supplied crayons and must represent his poem. Finally, he turned in a beautiful assignment. What do you think could be causing this behavior and why?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Laziness. Just because a student can easily obey rules and achieve much in class, it doesn't mean they are going to at least TRY to take the easy way out.

Comments: Laziness may be irrelevant, the student may need more motivation from the teacher... maybe the teacher is lazy and doesn't encourage or give feedback.. this isn't something you EVER assume about a student with this little of information.

Comments: I don't think laziness was this student's issue. The case pointed out he had other drawings on the wall and didn't say anything about this being a problem before. This sounds like he might have been having an off day,which is normal for students. After some encouragement he followed the directions of his teacher.
