  Case: Middle School
I have students who constantly refuse to participate. My CT does nothing for these students and it kills me that they hate the class so much. What can i do to keep them engaged? I don't need them to love the work, i just hate to see them miserable and refusing to do it.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am glad you care about these students and want them to be happy in general to be in the class, whether it is the topic or the other students and teachers. Maybe try rearranging them in pods so that they work in groups and can communicate with their peers. Note that this can cause some students to be disruptive but changing the seating arrangement and taking note of behavior can help. If they just hate the topic, try and find something relatable to the students that you can apply to class activities and worksheets.
