  Case: Lunch time
I have a student who comes to class without a lunch 2/5 days a week. Stating he either forgot his lunch or his parents forgot to give him money. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is so tricky because it is impossible to teach a hungry students. I would try contacting the parents. First start with an agenda letter to the parents. If that does not work I would for sure and call home for an explanation.

Comments: Before calling home, I would confront the student first. If it is still an issue, then I would send a form home about Free-Reduced Lunch for the parents to survey.

Comments: This is not very good because it might put the parents on the defensive. It could turn them against you and you need their help to find a solution.
