Case: 7th grade, again
I have a student in my internship class who is in 7th grade for the 3rd time. His parents are divorced, he lives with dad. He has no interest in doing the work and has no issues telling the teachers that he is not going to do the assignment. He is not really a behavior problem. Dad is aware that he is on track to fail, again. His response was to the tune of, I guess he will be in 7th grade again. This boy will be 16 in a grade with 12 year old classmates.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Does the student respond to differentiated instruction? If he is bored and has been doing the same assignments for several years, it would be a little unnerving to have to repeat again--which could discourage him from having to repeat again, but you never know. Regardless, I would try to differentiate instruction to the best of your ability. Alternatively, getting a school counselor involved may be beneficial to figure out why he has so little desire to move on from seventh grade. Does it have to do with the divorce of his parents and not wanting anymore change, etc.? |

Comments: I love how you mention to switch the assignments up. That's just it...the student it probably bored. If new assignments were implemented and motivation added, it could solve the issue. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. A change in assignment along with getting a school counselor involved could work to change the direction this student is going. |

Comments: I went through a time where my parents got divorced and I was distracted from school as well for years, they let me pass but I don't remember anything I learned from that time period. Talk to students and let them tell you how they feel about issues in their lives. |

Comments: I agree. Boredom might be a huge cause of the problem, and some effort into variation of assignments might save the teacher a lot of headache from dealing with the student not doing what they are supposed to do. |
