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!)
before i report this to anyone, i would suggest to the mother that her child is being picked on for being a little smelly and would recommend he bathes every night. the child may or may not be being neglected. |

Comments: This is unprofessional. If you were to speak to the mother or parent one on one, you would need to approach the situation in a much more delicate manner. |

Comments: I think going to the parent first is a bad idea. If the child is having issues at home, it'll give her more time to groom him in what to say. |

Comments: As a substitute talking to the parent may not be a good idea. Also, I’m not sure this is the way to go about telling the parent. |

Comments: I don't agree with this action because it does not talk about the real issue, rather it creates one. The parent can easily rebuttal with how the bullying in school is going on in this classroom, and the teacher is not stopping bullying. Which is totally another problem that the mother can fall back on if she becomes offended. |
