  Case: Lost lunch boxes
A mother comes in ranting for the third time this week stating that their child's lunch box. You as the teacher should be looking into this and that they are not going to send their child to school with a lunch box anymore as they can't afford to replace it.
Parent : I am sick of this. This is the third time I have had to look for my child's lunch box. I am not going to replace this one.
Continue this scenario to resolve the issue.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Because theft is involved, it's time to get administration and a school resource officer (if present at school) involved to open an investigation. It's likely that the student might have an idea as to who is stealing, that other students might have seen something, and that school video surveillance is available to look at too. With admin. and a SRO involved, it's really out of the teachers hands. I do not feel that the school should offer to replace the lunch box, as this would open a can of worms in having to replace any child's lunchbox that might go missing.

Comments: I do not know that a lost lunchbox is something that needs to go to the SRO. Perhaps some other steps can be taken first, before taking it to the SRO.

Comments: I agree. If this is a continuing problem, it would be wise to notify administration to see what they can do about the matter. If it is a case of theft, a higher authority figure should keep watch during the lunch period.
