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!) I would work with the student to develop a plan or system to correct his behavior. This may mean setting a timer for assignment, chunking the assignments he doesn't want to do, or working with a reward system. I would also speak with the student to find out how school can help him in life. To address the issue with the co-workers, I would discuss with them strategies I have used that were successful in getting the student to complete his work. This may show them that there is an alternative to letting the student refuse to do work he doesn't want to do.                 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: Discussing the problem with the student is the first step Rated On: July 1, 2021 3:44 pm Rated By: yTuWeG
