  Case: Should it be my concern?

I have a student that constantly comes to school upset in the mornings which affects his entire day. Not only is it affecting his performance in school but it is becoming a distraction to my other students. I have spoken with his parents on many occasions but they failed to assist me regarding his actions. Since the parents does not care, does that mean that I should?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You absolutely should continue to care this child, and all the other children within your classroom. This student is not learning and is, at times, preventing other students from learning. Continue to have one-on-one conversations with the student, classroom meetings where students can share what is bothering them and receive comments from other students, and also talk to your school counselor about the student emotional issues.

Good luck.
