  Case: Self-Esteem
I have a particular student who does great in class. She participates, completes homework, loves to come to the board and is excited to learn. However, when it comes to assessments, she freezes. She literally can't do the work unless I stand over her throughout the test. She has no self-confidence in the exams. She stays after and can find all her mistakes and rework without me. I believe she needs testing modifications and have spoken with a counselor on this matter and no help. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would simply nag someone until the student gets what she needs to be successful. This is a time honored strategy and I have seen it pay off in many different ways. The student will appreciate your effort as well as you helping the student to be successful.
