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!) For some students realizing that they come to school to escape their home life is a reality. This student needs someone who cares and possibly a counselor. Try to find out what the student likes and have books or projects that are engaging and motivating. Sometimes for kids it's the most simple things. You cannot make their home life go away but you can provide and nurturing and engaging classroom. Find a way to connect and reel the kid in.
