Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Refusing to do anything A classroom situation I had was a freshman student who absolutely refused to do anything he did not want to do. The frustrating part was not that he would not participate but that his teachers allowed it to happen because it was better that he was at school than at his home. It was frustrating because (1) the student was not learning and (2) the student obviously had a horrible homelife. What can I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would have a conference with the student and the parents to see what the problem is at home. I would also use some kind of token economy system that rewards the student when he completes assignments. Sometimes, putting students in groups help motivate them to work as well.                 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: This is a great solution, especially because it provides many options.
