  Case: Culture Confusion
I have a student that causes quite a bit of trouble in the classroom. I have had many conferences with his mother. Her most recent response was "I think I just need to send him back to Mexico. He can live with his dad and be poor and maybe one day he will appreciate the opportunities he was provided with here." She asked my opinion on that option. I told her that I wasn't sure what the best option was but that she had to do what she felt was best for her child since she was the parent. Any advice for a response if this came up again in the future?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Is the child active in any community programs? Does he have a male role model? Does he have any older big brothers? Could you possibly suggest the Big Brother program to his Mom or a male mentor to him and his Mom? The Mom might not have much family support around her and she might need additional family support and help in the community. Ask about activities that they could do together and suggest some things your school might be hosting to help them get involved. He might just be acting out due to him being bored and feeling a lack of male role models. Give him an opportunity to get involved and let Mom help as well.

Comments: I think this solution is very assumptive of what the child is going through rather than just involving a specialist who can help the student and provide positive resources.

Comments: I think making an assumption of the child isn't the best option, especially if teachers aren't fully aware of what is happening. Seeing a counselor is probably the best option in my opinion.
