Case: Dirty kid
I am a substitute teacher that often does long-term assignments. There is a 4th grade student that always comes to class very tired, in dirty clothes, and often smells bad. To add insult to injury, I've seen his mother and she is very well kept, dressed with all the "bling accessories," her nails done, hair done, etc. I can't understand how a mother can take such great care for herself, and leave the child a filthy mess.
How should this be addressed and handled properly?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not think you should talk to the parent or look towards the mom about the situation. Maybe briefly talk to the student in private to see how things at home are going. Try not to make the student feel embarrassed and maybe keep some hygiene items in the class in case he does not have those things at home and may want them from you if you offer them. |

Comments: I agree. It is important to not jump to conclusions about the parents. It is more appropriate to establish a relationship with the student and talk with the student regarding hygiene. |

Comments: This is the best solution. The student needs to feel comfortable and in many cases it isn't the parents fault, just a stubborn child. |
