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 would make the environment in the classroom nurturing and welcoming a environment he is obviously lacking at home. I would attempt to make the student feel accepted amongst his piers by getting him involved in group activities to help him socialize and build connections with the other students. During instruction I would try to make as many real world connections as I could. By creating real world connections the student will see how he can apply the information he is learning in class to real world situations.
