Heh, what I meant (and would do if it were me)was, to give it my best shot at improving him. But if he does not respond despite my efforts, I would detach myself a few steps. Ie, I would continue coaching him (it is, after all, my job) and do what my superiors wanted, but as far as the boy is concerned, I would not harbour any more illusions about changing him.
There are people who would stand up for what they believe in, even risk their jobs. I agree that this kid is just not worth the sacrifice. |

His parents don't seem to have very high expectations of him and I wonder what he does in school at all if he's not willing to learn. I would continue to tutor him but I wouldn't have too much hope to change him. That's up to him and he have to learn to take some responsibility.

Sometimes I wonder about cases like this one: Why don't I tell the guy to die stupid if he wants to and concentrate more on the rest of my class? I guess I just can't give up on kids. Pretty pathetic. [/QUOTE]Ah, well that information changes the situation. Didn't realize you didn't have control over the grading.
