Case: Boy, don't you ever shower? It is obvious from the first day of class that one of the students has bad body odor. By the end of the third week, you start to realize that the student as Steve. The other students in the class are going to greater and greater lengths to avoid sitting next to him. They mime choking when he sits in the seat in front of them. Any reference to odor or smell in the classroom is met with snickering. Finally, one day after Steve comes in late and sits next to a student in the front row, he turns to Steve and says, "Boy, don't you ever shower?" The class breaks up in hysterics. When should I have intervened? How?, What should I say to student? What should I say to others? Should I confront the class with Steve present? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This may sound extreme, but I have observed this in a classroom setting recently. CPS is now doing an investigation on said student. I am going to recommend reporting it immediately. It is a different story if the child comes in once in a while and he smells a little off, but if it is a daily occurrence, it needs to be reported immediately. I shower every day, as do most people. It is because of cleanliness, rather than smell. If there is a child that is not being given that opportunity, they are breeding germs and illness and will spread it to the rest of your class. |
