  • I’m still not sure why you flagged this as special needs. From the information given this is a normal kid behaving mediocre. Did I miss something? There’s nothing exceptional about doing the work fast, presumably because he did the bare minimum. I interpreted the ‘lazy’ comment directed at his behaviour not his character. I’m sure they have been working on the issue for a long time. There’s tonnes of people out there, confidently underperforming, unmotivated to meet their potential.

    I’m just saying it takes two to teach. Students have a responsibility too.


  • To me it sounds like he put in the bare minimum effort and did not make a good faith attempt. I could be wrong though but it’s a fair guess.

    The teacher could add criteria to force him to work harder, but he’s probably going to cheese that too. Can’t force him to engage. Have you never met one of those people that will work hard to strictly do the bare minimum?
