At the beginning of the school year Harvey was not keeping up. The teacher thought it was because Harvey was just getting used to being in a new environment but now weeks later Harvey grades are falling. How does the teacher get Harvey to get accustomed to his new environment? And if these problems persist how can he change it? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Students from other countries definitely feel a major culture shock when coming to the United States. It is hard for them to understand our way of life when coming from a third world country. Maybe this student needs someone to talk to. His family could be having issues and this could be affecting his motivation in school. I think it would be best to sit down with the student one and one and just have a simple conversation about his life, family, and how he is accepting being in the US.                 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: I agree that the student might be in culture shock. I also like the fact that they could be having family issues that affect their school progress. Being able to understand what the student is thinking would make a bid difference.
