A strange question but a situation I have come across in my classroom situation. What I got to know was that a student does not want to be taught in two situations: first he believes that he knows more than a teacher is giving in the class and the second he has a phobia of the subject to an extent that he says I can do anything but not that subject.
When discussed with my senior I could analyze and believe that both the students can be handled effectively and efficiently.
The first type can be handled by gaining the confidence of the child and provide him opportunities to share his knowledge with the other students and solve the doubts and also provide him with some tricks and tricky questions he would enjoy solving. That will make him realize that to further enhance his skills he needs the teacher.
The second type is a bit difficult but not impossible. Make the child realize the importance of the subject first and then its real life application. After that make a note of the areas he is weak in and then starts with the easiest level and interesting real life questions he would love to work on. It’s a slow process but an effective way to curb the fear of the child and make the subject interesting for him.
The presence of such situation in the class is a great challenge but it depends how u work on and for it. All the best and happy learning.
