Question

Mr. Varol, a middle school teacher, doesn't quite know what to make of Jacob, one of his high-achieving students. When Mr. Varol assigns a challenging in-class project that has to be completed within a certain time period and as part of a cooperative learning group, Jacob often ignores the efforts of the other members of his group and continues to work beyond the time limit. The behavior that Jacob exhibits under these conditions most likely reflects _______.

Answer 1

Answer:

A learning disability.

Explanation:

Jacob has a few symptoms of learning disability: he is much too focused on the task and on his work, ignores the work of others, has no time references. This could mean a learning disability (if taken the example in depth). Mr. Varol could talk to his parents to find out more about Jacob's life and determine if he has, indeed, a disability.
