  Case: Crying Teenager
Mr. Askew has a new student who was degraded to his class because her performance wasn't good in the class she was taking. Her mom has been very sick, which causes her to cry in the middle of the class or loose focus. Mr. Askew has talked to the school counselor and the department has talked to her, but the behavior seems to persist. He tries to be supportive but his options are running low.
What should Mr. Askew do in this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Work with a behavior specialist or guidance counselor to create a plan, where the student can leave for a designated safe place to deal with their emotions. At this point it is understandable that the student is feeling the way they are, and as caring educators, I think everyone needs to still respect that the student is hurting right now. However, I also understand that the behavior is distracting for others in class, so creating a safe place that the student can go either in the class, or somewhere like the guidance counselor's office, will show that you still care about what they are going through but also you are able to continue to teach the lessons.

Comments: The idea of having a safe space to go when she feels like she needs to cry is a great idea. This way, she can quietly leave and come back when she is ready. She is going through a hard time and might not be able to process her emotions. The school counselor is a great resource.

Comments: I agree that this is the best solution. No one can truly understand what the student is going through and though it may take her away from learning, emotional problems have to be handled first at times.
