  Case: A cheater or not
Ms. Case has a student that always looks at other students work when completing his work. For example, when asked to do a pattern, he will look at his neighbors pattern and copy their pattern. In small group when the teacher reads a book and asks questions he will only repeat what the other students say. There is no original thought or work for this student. When the teacher pulls this student for 1 on 1 instruction she is noticing that the student does not understand any of the skills being taught, but the student will yell saying, "Why am I doing this again I did this in small group and did it right?" How is she suppose to re-teach this student if he feels he has all the right answers when he clearly doesn't and he becomes uncooperative?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a conversation with the student that it's important for the teacher to determine if he can complete assignments or understands assignments independently.

Another approach is to tell the student that it's an opportunity for spiral review, and at some point, all students will review concepts that they've learned throughout the year.
