  Case: Divorced and double
One of my students has parents that are divorced. Each parent wants two sets of every paper I send home. This includes homework. I can tell that each parent wants to be the main parent and have the student do all of the homework with them. I can tell that the student does not like this because she is now having to do double the homework. Do I say something to the parents or just stay out.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a teacher with an average of 20 students, you can suggest talking with the student one on one or even getting the guidance counselor involved so that she can decide how to proceed with this matter. You don't want to take on extra responsibility, and this personal issue might have more to it than you just observing the student's frustration in class about the homework. Get the specialist involved so that a appropriate conference may take place.

Comments: I would also get a professional involved. I would watch the student and document any drop in grades or anything related to the stress being caused from the home environments.
