I have sent notes home numerous times. Still, she comes to class with lice. What do I do next? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Document this and report it to the social worker and administration. That is borderline child abuse.                 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: I agree!

Other routes can be taken first.

To tear up a family because of assumptions is a bad idea.

I would have a parent conference first.

Bringing the situation to administration is okay to do, especially if it happens in several different cases, but getting a social worker involved before speaking with the parents face to face is not the right thing to do.

It's likely the parents aren't taking proper steps in the sanitization of their home when the incident occurs, such as washing pillows, bed sheets, etc. and that's why the lice continues to come back. I think having a conference with the parents is the best step.

Head lice isn't caused by neglect or abuse and in fact lice like clean hair because they can move around more easily.
