He tries to turn work in late and refuses to take no for an answer. Recently, when his teacher asked for students to turn in their test corrections he asked her if he could turn them in then next day. When she asked why he said he needed help with the problems. Students had been given 2 and a half weeks to complete the corrections and the teacher was available multiple times for help before and after school and during class so the teacher refused to accept the late work. The student continued to question why he wasn't able to turn in the work and would not accept the explanations given. How do you address this without getting into a power struggle? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Talk to the parents and the student. Let them both know what the expectations are. If he continues to not turn work in on time his parents are going to start to wonder why his grade is low. Doing this stops that problem before it starts. Stick to your dates.
