Edutopia – Derek Davidson

“In my classroom, a student named Diego would pull a hoodie tight over his head and go to sleep. I have had several students like him before. When I’d ask if they were all right, and they’d tell me they were sleepy, I’d say that I understood but they had work to do. They’d apologize and work for a bit but fall back asleep moments later. After having the same conversation multiple times in a class, they eventually stopped apologizing and became nonresponsive.” (more)
