  Case: Just doesn't care
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!)

Try talking to him and maybe he will open up to you. Also I would let a guidance counselor know, the family issue can be a really big problem.
