try to motivate this child, for example every time he or she does something right give praise. If that does not work, put him in a slower class.

Give them small pieces of text so that they may follow along as you read to them.  Ultimately, you will want them to take turns reading aloud.  I know this has gone "out of fashion" in the classroom, but it really works.  You will be modeling tone, cadence, pronunciation, etc.  I am currently teaching a literacy unit in a tenth grade classroom.  We do this every day.  This is what they were missing......

get them to create something. Drawings, building blocks, games that excite or test their ability to remember, painting, crafts. You can try making them discuss issues. You will be surprised what comes out. If you are facing hyperactive children know that their attention span is very short so a variety of quick games may help. TV is your last resort. They would likely not enjoy the same program anyway. Good luck.

Well, I don't know how to motivate you too much, maybe try taking to a friend or parent, maybe the teacher. Ask them to help you stay on track. But remember that even if you are not motivated, you have to do it. Once you start doing, that usually helps with the motivation. And keep in mind that it's ok to get a bad grade every once in a while.

yes it is a bad idea but what would be the solution ? have you tried getting involve in the school and to offer reasonable solutions ? if nothing works and you are concerned enough then wait to take your child to school just in-time for class or have someone else do it for you. you could also try another school. lol.

Put aside a certain amount of time each night to work on your classes. Try to become organized. Make a folder on your computer labeled School and keep all of your work in that one folder. \n\nDon't let yourself fall behind...it's horrible trying to catch up. Don't wait until the very last minute to do anything or you will get stressed out. That's probably the most important thing.  \n\nTry to keep it spread out so you only have to do a little at a time...it won't seem so daunting that way!

First don't push,  I know you want all the kids to be at high levels, but for some it just takes time to learn.  Talk to your fellow teachers, they may have some ideas.  Talk to the parents of the students, that can be a problem.  If the parents are not taking the time to read and with the children, then the children lose interest and don't see the point.  Find out what the children are interested in.  If a group of them are interested in bugs, find a lot of books on bugs, if another group like dogs, find books on dogs.  Have the children write their own book.  You come up with the subject and have each child write their own page.

Because you said child, I am assuming you mean less than teen years, correct? If so what I recommend you do is essentially, you will have to very politely show that child that s/he does NOT, “know-it-all” as you put it. What I would suggest is to set up some sort of praise, or rewards system for the children. This can be done in the form of say like a bulletin board with stars, smiley faces, etc…(you get the idea), and every time someone does something praiseworthy, (which will ultimately be under your judgment) they will get notoriety for it. This could be for good behavior, participation, correctly answering a question, working well with others, etc… If this child is a obstinate as you say - they will quickly fall short of the rest of the class, which will be seen by the class as well. Plus, this will give you a comparable, and seeable tool to use to calmly explain to the parents that their son/daughter is hindering or falling behind the rest of the class due the reason you stated earlier. It may sound a bit mean - but in essence you will be using the class against the child in a purely psychological and non threatening way. Plus, if the child does eventually change, they can just as easily be among the other successful students in the class. Try it and see… Hope it helps.

You have quite a week coming up, don't you?\n\nI think the best approach to use is a practical one.  No, you wouldn't bribe the kids in a classroom that is your regular class, but you don't have time to discipline this class, to teach them to conform to your expectations over time.  They know you're only going to be there a short time and that your assessment of them isn't the one that will be on their report cards.  They don't have much reason to cooperate, do they?\n\nSo, giving rewards (not bribes) is the plan.\nWhen you are thinking what to do, I'd suggest that the rewards program doesn't take much of your time and attention.  I tried giving raffle tickets out once and found that I was forever handing the things out and they were really getting in the way of doing other things.  How about smaller rewards more frequently given?  If you can give them ten extra minutes of recess as a reward for a morning of good behavior, that will keep them more motivated than a bigger reward at the end of the week.\nIf you want to reward just some of the kids (because there will be some stinkers, even in a generally good class) you could try something like a treat at the end of the day or something they could show their parents, a certificate of good behavior.  Maybe having a "Roll of Honor" that will remain for the regular teacher to see with the names of good students will get kids to try to be included.\nI think you also have to work some way that kids who get off to a rocky start in the week can sort of get on board and achieve some reward, too.  I like your idea of making the rewards program start new each day.  If you are doing the Roll of Honor thing, perhaps the kids who are good each day could get a star after their name each day they qualify for the list.  That way even if a kid only behaves on Friday, his success can be recognized and another kid who was good all week will remain motivated since each day's success is noted.\n\nGood luck!

Make him want to.  Most children don't want to do their homework.  You have to make the thought of what will happen if it isn't done so horrible that they would rather do it than suffer the consequences.\n\nNow granted, if you tell your son  that if he doesn't do his homework he will loose TV privileges for a day then you have follow through.\n\nI used take phone privileges from my Children.  Then when one of their friends called they had to answer and tell them why they couldn't talk.  (Ouch!)\n\nThat is my humble opinion.

i would suggest meeting with the teachers to get their guidance. they should be able to work with you to give him the help he needs in a more timely manner. they should be glad you care so much & be really willing. also, meeting with any special needs teachers for tips can help as well.\n\ncan the teachers help give you items ahead of time so that you can work on things on the weekends when you have more time? (assuming you have a monday-friday job)

you need to be PROACTIVE Have her sit down at the KITCHEN TABLE eg someplace without distraction (tv radio etc) where you can warth her study DON'T HOVER but keep an EYE out.  If she looks lost or confused tell her to focus and ask where she is and check how she id doing.  Don't just say how are you doing pick a few things out of her homework and ask her to explain them to you.  Have HER in a sence TEACH YOU.  what she learned.  if you work late let her start her homework late so you can watch her do it or if that isn't an option ask to see her homework at night and go over it with her B4 bed.  YOU MAY HAVE TO EXTEND HER BEDTIME.  This is OK.  ADOLESCENTS CAN FUNCTION ON LITTLE SLEEP MUCH BETTER THAN CAN ADULTS. besides the sleep cycle (circadium rythym) of a teenager is such that they want to stay awake later. it would be better for her, if she is your average kid, if you let her stay up to do the work.\n\nYOU MUST KEEP ON HER.  IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A PARENT!!!!!!!!!

First of all, make it fun for her. Best way is to make a board game or fun flashcard or something like that. Then, promise her to do something fun with her if she stays on task and pays attention. Make ocational test to see her progress, but dont make them long. Last, the "lesson" should be no more then 20 min.

i would use flash cards, there is less to concentrate on with a single card, so write, for instance, a vocabulary word on one side and the definition on the other, and it should seem to move much faster for the child, since s/he isn't trying to concentrate on a whole chapter, plus it cuts out all the stuff they really don't need and focuses in on the important stuff they will have to remember for their tests
