How can we as teachers help these students to separate home life from school life? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Talk with the student, give them time to unwind or calm down in the mornings before making them do assignments right away, find a person they can trust in like a guidance counselor, create an outlet such as a journal or a drawing book that they keep at school, allow for breaks and create an open code for when they walk in the door at what level they are on that day. ASK the student what they need, they often know.
