Assigning work that they can successfully complete does help and may change their perceptions about the classroom environment.<\/p><p>Other issues to consider include teacher behaviour and personality; teaching methods; parental involvement; family issues; and peer friendships. So, if you find your child is sluggish, emotionally flat, doing nothing when there is work to be done, expressing no concern about incomplete work or grade achievements, then you may need to seek professional advice.
