Not Even Trying

I have ran into the students who really have no desire to even try and learn. I have heard every excuse possible I think, I am not sure but they have tried some really weird ways of getting out of work. Today I gave the most ridiculous assignment to a couple of my students just to see how lazy they were, I told them all they had to do was copy (type)the questions out of the book (15 to be exact) and I would give them the answers and they would receive a 100%. All they had to do was type 15 questions in a 50 minute class, they did nothing for the entire class, they sat there and stare and the screen like it is going to do it for them. When I would walk behind them they would type a couple words but I guess when I would help another student they would stop. They turned in another students work. Tomorrow I am going to talk to them about it, the other students are taking to my style very well, today I gave them the answer book to check their work. They only checked their work, they did not copy the numbers, they only looked to see how to set up their worksheet. I am really happy with most of the class, they are understanding that I am understanding to a point and then at that point they do their work. I have tried the method out of Teaching with Love and Logic book by giving them some control. It seems to be working with most but not all. I am not giving up on the rest of the class just yet, I will try some more techniques.
