However, I have one particular student this year who have them all beat. He is failing every subject and giggles about it. He serves break detention and academic lunch every day to make up assignments that he did not do or refused to do in class. He still does not complete them. He is very disrespectful to his teachers and to his grandmother that is raising him. We really are at a loss as what to do for this child to make him care. I can help a student who is struggling on any given day, I can't make them care. We have tried everything with this child. HELP! Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) He might be displaying this behavior because he does not understand the material and feels that this is a way to mask his embarrassment. Is there someone he has bonded with that can sit down one on one with him during his lunch detentions to review and reteach him the material. Sometimes that one on one instruction given by a person who the child trusts can go a long way.
