  Case: Unmotivated Student
I have a student who refuses to take any type of assessment seriously, not to mention his lack of effort in the classroom daily. I have called home several times, he has seen the counselor, he has a BIP, but he still will not take a test seriously. He bubbles in answers or circles them and then lays his head down. No amount of prodding, bribing, encouragement has helped yet. What haven't I tried that might help? How do I motivate him?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe have the student answer some verbal questions that deals with their interests to see what they like. Have them meet with the guidance counselor so that they can talk about why they don't like tests.
