  Case: Fostering Students
Mrs. Appleby has a student in her class that was recently taken from his parents. The student is very attached to her and makes comments about wishing he was her child and could go home with her. The school counselor asked if she would be willing to go through foster parent classes because of the attachment the child has to her. What do you think she should do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is always best for children to be placed with people they know and have a bond to than strangers in the foster care system. The child's case manager will be looking for family; but if no family were available than the teacher would be a great placement. It would be a huge commitment that must be thought through carefully.

Comments: This is exactly the correct answer from a child welfare standpoint. It is always better to place a child with someone they know and have a relationship with than placing them with strangers.

Comments: Although I do think that it would be a heartwarming experience, you should not expect that every teacher would be able to foster a child. Best case scenario, she accepts the responsibility.

Comments: I agree that it is a huge commitment that should be adequately thought out. If the teacher is comfortable with that then I think that's amazing. If not, I think the teacher can talk with others and do whatever she can to help the student find a forever home.
