  Case: Just trying to Help
A student in class has a odor condition, and I tried to help the child from being picked on by others in the class so I sent home a little deodorant with the child. I received a note back from the parents with a very rude remark, \"(Blank student) has a mother and does not need another.\" Now, uncomfortably, I do not know what to do.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Teach a lesson on hygiene and maybe that will have some students interested and relay the information to parents to teach hygiene also. Then if the problem still persists, then I would seek help from a counselor or social worker.

Comments: I don't think going the extreme way of going to the school counselor will help but cause more problems for the parent. Maybe the nurse could come in for a special visit and talk about hygiene to the students. That way, the student understands what is going on and other students who may have the same problem will as well.

Comments: I think that the child would know this was aimed at them since the teacher already sent deodorant home. I would not do this.
