We try to get him to learn and do work but he says it's pointless. I discovered that this student doesn't have a father and his mother is on every drug imaginable. How can I expect this student to do any work at all or even give a shit about anything we do in school when he has to think about where he's sleeping at night. Everything I can teach him in a classroom means nothing, why should he even care? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would want to start to build a relationship with the student to show that I do care about him and that we are doing in the classroom is important. I would try to find what motivates the student and encourage him through that. It is important that you do not give up on the student and that he knows that you believe in him even though circumstances at home are tough and he feels that everything is going wrong. See what his motivation is to get him going in the right direction in school.                 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: Rated On: March 2, 2013 2:29 pm Rated By: eHeGuL
