That sounds like a violation of some class rule. There should be consequences for such actions. Refer to your classroom management plan. Perhaps, privileges should be lost and parents contacted.

Find out why – does the child find the worksheet too difficult or too redundant? My student refused to do Math grids and her teacher and I came to an agreement that as long as she did well with actual work (she is an A student in Math) she did not have to do the grid (her speed on the timed test id 2.5). Since she did not need the grid she helped other kids to improve their memorization skills. Try finding out why the child doesn’t want to do a worksheet and see if there is a resolution. Good Luck!

If it is only their worksheets, do nothing. That is their choice. Life is about choices. Let that student see the results of his/her choice. Needless to say you will be seeing that student in the same class for the next year or two or three! “You can lead a horse to drink, but you can’t make them water”. A teacher cannot make a student learn, that is their choice.

Let your administrator know that you are calling the parent.

Call the parent.

At the end of the week mail all the worksheets home addressed to the parents so they see what the child is doing.

Talk to the child about why he/she thinks your class is worthless. If the kid says he knows it all already, stick him/her in front of the class and let him/her teach the class himself/herself. This activity gives kids a real taste of what it’s like to get up in front of a group of kids who don’t listen.

Also – the poster above who said it may be too difficult for the kid could be right too. Or maybe the kid gets no support from home or help in completing homework. Refer the kid to the school social worker or counselor to get some help.

Or maybe you can keep the kid in from recess and let him stare at it for as long as it takes him to finish it.

Does he throw the entire class’ worksheet in the trash or just their own? In either case, I would speak with the parent immediately. The child is disrespecting you in your own classroom. You cannot let that go unchecked. If you do, that student will not be the only one to challenge you in the very near future. If you deal with this child very harshly, the rest of the class will take this example to heart.

Ask the kid what they plan to do in the next twenty years and let them know that they will fail if they continue to not do the assigned work,
