Case: How do you tell a parent his or her child has an odor?
I have a student who constantly comes to school smelly. The odor is that of urine. I have notified the counselor who plans on talking with the child. Should I discuss this odor issue with the parents or let it ride to see if the problem continues? If it does, what should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Believe it or not, there are rules against talking to parents about things like this. After talking to the counselor and the problem still persist, then a children's agency might need to become involved. I don't think that as teachers we are allowed to give students things like bars of soap or new clothes. It is crazy how many rules there are about this like this. Maybe do a class lesson and personal hygiene. It might be that this student just does not know how to take care of him or herself. |

Comments: A class lesson on hygiene would not likely solve this issue if it continued to persist. The student may practice good hygiene, yet have a bladder issue. There are many reasons outside of poor hygiene that could be playing a role in the bad odor. |

Comments: I believe the suggestion on doing a lesson on hygiene is very beneficial for all students, and it could potentially allow the child that smells to gain knowledge on how to take care of him or herself. |
