The frustrating part was not that he would not participate but that his teachers allowed it to happen because it was better that he was at school than at his home. It was frustrating because (1) the student was not learning and (2) the student obviously had a horrible homelife. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) First, I would try to discuss with the student the issue he or her are having. Find out the reasons why the student feels the way they do. Find out what assignments he or she likes to do. Create a system that would have positive reinforcements for completing work. Do not give extra points for completing assignments that are already expected out of him or her, but maybe something that will increase intrinsic motivation.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Making sure that all options are executed before going to the last option which would be sending home.
