I received a note back from the parents with a very rude remark, \"(Blank student) has a mother and does not need another.\" Now, uncomfortably, I do not know what to do. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would have a quick lesson on hygiene in the class and have hygiene products in my class for students to take home if they need to. This would be open to all students not just directed to one. Then document each day that child comes to school with a bad odor and if this is a consistent thing I will then reach out to the parents and let them know of this issue that is reoccurring at school if I dont smell a difference after that I will have a talk to the student about any personal issues at home and last resort would to talk to my supervisor.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: October 16, 2016 2:06 pm Rated By: Nick                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: These are all good ideas but I would still choose not to go this route. The reason being that the parent already told you to bak off. If you choose not to, this could lead to a very angry mother.

I also disagree with it because the parent did not seem to be open to "reaching out" so I think a conference would do more harm than good.

This lesson would help a lot of other children in the future not just in this particular situation Rated On: July 4, 2018 3:31 pm Rated By: eReXaG                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: This eventually does single the student out and could make their anxiety raise and self esteem drop. It's best to keep this broad rather than assuming something horrible is happening at home.

I think there should also be some deodorant the kids could use for after PE or outside activities.
