  Case: Student sleeps all day
In my EBD room, I have a student who sleeps all day. He has a very rough home life ( mom on drugs and in and out of jail) and the father is in jail. I ask him why he is so tired and he just tells me that he stays up all night. From what I was told by other teachers, he runs the streets a lot and involved in some stuff with his mother. I am the co-teacher in the room and have spoke to the teacher about allowing him to sleep in the hallway (where two rooms connect by the bathroom) all day and not doing any work. I was told by the teacher that it is easier to allow him to sleep because if he is awake than he is disruptive. There is no talking to his mother because it has been done before and she does not care. How do I transition this student from sleeping at night and not during classroom time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would work with the student one on one and have them complete their assignments. It may be hard, but allowing the student to sleep all day is not a way in which said student is benefiting or learning anything.

Comments: Especially since the classroom has more than one instructor. If there are only one or two days that one of the co-teachers can work with the student, I feel this would make a tremendous difference.
