  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 actually had this type of situation in one of my previous internships. I think it is important as an educator to care about each and every student. Every child has issues at home, but it is important for them to feel safe at school. I think that you need to take baby steps to get him to acknowledge that what he is doing is good for himself. The better he does in school, the better off he will be in the long run. I also think that it is important to have a positive attitued regardless of the situation.
