Sometimes the child doesn't show up for school and sometimes the student comes to school hungry, tired, or dirty. Mrs. Fish knows that there may be money issues, especially with so many children, but what can she do to help motivate these parents and students? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have had a child in this same predicament this year. The child cam to school dirty at times, or wearing shorts and flips flops with the temperature at 55 degrees outside. The child has had lice several times and the parent blamed the school (got ugly). The parent has also shown up dirty, bruised, and nearly unconscious early in the morning upon bringing her child to school. The child has missed more days than he has been at schools this year (pre-k). As a mandated reporter I had to do what was necessary for the safety and well-being of the child. I say look into it further, document everything on a daily basis and discuss the information with your supervisor.
