He sits in the back of the class and just sits quietly or is on his phone. When the teacher tells him to do his work or tries to help him, he ignores her. Any ideas on how to help the teacher? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would suggest the teacher pull the student aside and have a private conversation about their lack of participation and academic interest. The student should know the importance of completing work because it affects their grades and chances of graduating. If the student is that disassociated from class, maybe the parents should be contacted to schedule a meeting about the students options regarding an alternative school or environment.
