Who should I confront about this and how (without sounding accusational)?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted February 23, 2019 8:16 pm HaJeRe Reps: 204 I think the best solution would be to first speak with administration about the problem and ask them what is the best way to proceed with this issue. If you directly contact the parents on your own they may become upset and defensive and it probably won't solve the problem. Maybe administration could set up a parent-teacher conference to address the problem.

I think this course of action, along with any other markers of parental misconduct would be relevant to bring to a small sit down.   Posted on: February 25, 2019 1:09 am Cali Pohlman Reps: 201 I agree. Perhaps consulting with the school guidance counselor would help create a solution. Guidance counselors are trained to handle sensitive situations such as this.   Posted on: February 25, 2019 1:19 am Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted July 8, 2019 6:07 am SyWaLu Reps: 101 It would be best to contact the administrator. This follows protocol as you should always report any time you feel the child is in a risky living situation. I understand you concerns and hope it works out.

I know several families from school, my sons football team, on my daughters high school cheer team that have medical marijuana cards. They smoke it like cigarettes wherever they are or go. I still get so shocked when I witness it. They smoke it in front of their children. For the situation at school I recommend bringing it up to the schools guidance counselor who could reach out to the family.

Confronting the parents is only going to make them upset and defensive and will not solve the issue.

In many states, Marijuana is legal medicinally so there can't be judgment passed, however, it would be beneficial to tell the parents of the smell lingering to school because people who smoke tend to become nose blind and do not realize they or their things smell like weed. This could have as simple of a fix of keeping the child's belongings away from their smoking areas or even spraying items down with febreeze or any fabric spray to eliminate the smell Votes: +0 / -0 This Solution Is Useful   This Solution Is Not Useful   Comments posted for this solution Add a Comment                 Solution 8 Posted October 8, 2019 1:29 am Dawn Palaio Reps: 209 I would just ask for a parent teacher conference, or talk to the office to ask what to do.

I propose that you talk both to the parents and the principal inside of a meeting. This way you can address the smell to the parents with the supervision of the principal in case the parents are offended in any way. You could also come up with a plan for the child to be in this environment less, for instance them doing their stuff when the child is not around or them going outside to do this activity. Good luck and as always stay positive.
