  Case: Should it be my concern?

I have a student that constantly comes to school upset in the mornings which affects his entire day. Not only is it affecting his performance in school but it is becoming a distraction to my other students. I have spoken with his parents on many occasions but they failed to assist me regarding his actions. Since the parents does not care, does that mean that I should?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a teacher, we are the student's advocates too. If the parents are not concerned, that does not mean you should not be. I would begin by asking the student what is bothering them in the mornings and looking for solutions. I would also get a counselor in to talk to the student.
