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!) I would start by having a conversation about the situation with the student and see how he responds. If the student does not respond well I think that it might be time to get the parent involved.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: If the student responds negatively ask simple light questions to the parent.
