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!) This is a tough and sad situation. Unfortunately, you cannot control what happens at home, but can serve as a role model at school. Do your best to make this student feel safe and excited about attending school. Instead of punishing the student, try to find activities that make him feel like he is part of the classroom community and that you value his presence as his teacher.                 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
