  Case: Does not care, should I?
There's a student who comes into class and just doesn't care. 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!)
I would try to help find this student a group home, foster home, or at least help him talk with the school councelor. I would first start with helping him deal with life, then start worrying more about school. I would not want to make him feel like he is in trouble everyday because then he will hate school. Most likely school is the only place he gets a hot meal or any attention.
