  Case: Student Doesn't Care
I have a student in my class who doesn't seem to care about punishments or phone calls with parents. They are an issue in class; when they don't get their way, they resort to getting physical with others. I don't know how to handle them in my class. I want them to try to utilize other options, like using their words or taking a deep breath when they feel upset, but I want to know if anyone has any other suggestions.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a student who used to not care I would try to relate to them. Talk to them and ask them why they do not care, tell them why it is important to care, and see what you can do to try and make them care more by making lessons more engaging and fun.
