  Case: Careless Students
I have had students in the past who rock the "I don't care" attitude. 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!)
I would ask the student what he wants to be when he is older. Then ask him how he expects to get there. If he does not have an answer then you can answer for him with the truth. Maybe that might help him see the need to do his school work.
