Lebraun is having major academic issues. Since he had a hard time completing an algebra problem (3x+12=48) that I gave him this summer, I figured he would have difficulties once school started. He also placed into the lowest level of remedial classes here. I asked Lebraun to visit the math center three times a week in July to get help with him. Did he go regularly?
Lebran went to the math center once. I suspended him from summer workouts because of this. I expected this since most ball players I've worked with generally don't like admitting they need help with anything. Now, his english teacher is asking him to visit the writing center because the lone homework assignment he turned in recently was incoherent. Lebraun is 22 years old. Is Lebraun working hard to address these glaring deficiencies?
While Lebraun has some foundational issues academically, his biggest problem right now isn't related to that. One month into school, Lebraun hasn't purchased any books because he never applied for a financial aid voucher to buy them. How could this happen?
Even though he started the financial aid process in August, it took him a full month and a half to get them all the paperwork they needed. When he finally gave them all the documents they had asked for, it was too late to get a voucher. What has he done in the meantime to address this book issue even though three teammates have the same classes?
Nothing. He's currently failing every single class, even his basic Orientation class where his task on a daily basis is to write a journal entry about his likes and dislikes in life. I gave him a full week to make up everything that's missing in his classes, or he'll be dismissed from the team.
Will he make up the work?
