You know that from observing him work he is a bright student but he is always trying to circumvent having to do classwork by socializing or vying for your attention. What are some ways that you could help him to focus more in a positive way? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The teacher might try and make the lessons stimulating and exciting for John. Experiment with ideas and methods that work well for him and are engaging. Rather than teaching the lessons the same way and going through a similar routine repeatedly the teacher should mix it up by implementing games, or interactive activities.
