  Case: Refusing to do anything
A classroom situation I had was a freshman student who absolutely refused to do anything he did not want to do. The frustrating part was not that he would not participate but that his teachers allowed it to happen because it was better that he was at school than at his home. It was frustrating because (1) the student was not learning and (2) the student obviously had a horrible homelife. What can I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try to come up with a contract with the student. I would try using an award system and possibly going to the school social worker for assistance. I would try to include the parents in on any plans to see if they possibly what to help with their child and so they wouldn't feel left out on what's going on.
