Helping Students who Don't Want to Be in School

Monday I had a student taking a make-up test. I accidentally passed him the completed test of a student who took the test last week. After about 10 minutes the student taking the make-up test raised his hand and told me I gave him the other student's test. I noticed he had filled in the answers to all the balancing equation problems but didn't have any indication of how he worked them out. I asked him if he did them himself. He said, "Yes." I cut the 5 balancing equation problems off the test and gave him 5 different equations to balance. He couldn't do any of them. He ended up doing none of the problems on the test. I told him that I needed to see him at recess. I started him on the classwork the rest of the class was doing (creating a graph and predicting results when given an experimental question and a data table). He started playing around and laughing with the student next to him. I moved him to  a desk by himself. He completed the graph with several errors. When I tried to explain the errors to him, he looked away and  paid no attention - until I told him, "It is clear to me that you don't want to be here, and I am going to help you make that wish come true." He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. I said, 'There is no need for you to be here if you don't want to, so I am going to help you.' He said a little hesitantly, 'I want to be here.' I said, 'Yes, you feel you have to say that, but let me help you. Look at all the kids in the class working and trying to learn. They want to be here. There's no reason someone who doesn't want to be here should take time from them. At recess we are going to go to the office and I am going to help you get what you want.' His argument then became 'I didn't cheat. You gave me the other student's test.' At recess he sauntered into my class after having been to the cafeteria to get a bottle of (highly) sweetned tea.
Today he wasn't in class. I haven't heard what happened. I'm glad I was able to help him. The rest of the class reached a new level of effort and cooperation today, also.
