wah.. nowadays students' Bm getting worse eh.. lol. anyway, @TS, if he's naughty, send him to school counsellor.. they could help i think

no, a school counsellor will probably not help. Before he even enter the room already his mind will be negative.
"this is the place where they send the bad kids, they think i'm bad. i dun need help. i can do better myself,. i hate this. etc etc"
u make the kid shut himself up before he even enters place, and make your effort futile.
Instead, get someone, a friend, or someone u know, to speak to him. Not in the teacher-lecturer manner, but as another friend. If got related life experience, the better. The kid will be more open to suggestions, and easier to convert.
also, encourage, instead of deride the child
instead of "you useless piece of sh*t i pay for your education and u bring back mahai results"
try
"i'm disappointed in you. Why? because i know how smart you are, and you can do better than this. U not onli disappointed me, but disappointed everyone who believed in you. Do better next time, and i will reward you"
damn, i shud be a psychiatrist
