He does not complete tasks independently and has zero confidence. The teacher has spoken with his mother and she disclosed he has seen a lot of paternal violence. However, mom isn't top notch and always plays the "single mom" card. However, it is no excuse to have an un-bathed child. How does the teacher approach this with the mother? Bathing the child might make a difference in how he feels during the day. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It is important to state what is observed and not to pass any judgement when talking to the parent. The teacher could also set up a conference with the student and the parent (along with an administrator or parent liaison) to discuss the issues. The student may feel more comfortable in the presence of the teacher.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't think the student would feel comfortable in this situation and being put on the spot.
