sorry, your job is to help all students with problem solving. Next time you have a student who seems to be overly anxious about his grades, why not try talking to the parents, the school counselor or even the kid. Or try writing down the answers to the questions you can anticipate, such as page numbers or assigned work or even what his grade is. If the kid is akin or Dx with Aspergers-visual answers are generally best.

As far as the kid wanting special attention---you lost me there. From the sound of things he needed special positive attention. If you gave it, I didn't read it.

In any case, the end of the year is rant season for everyone, including students.
