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 him do tasks that he enjoys, but still meets the learning standard. I think If he enjoys things, he will be happy. Also, maybe have someone work with him, as long as it won't affect their grade. Keep him motivated all day with another instructor.
