  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!)
First off, I feel for this student because I can't imagine how hard it is for them to come to school with those circumstances happening at home. My solution would be to have a check in system with that student briefly before class. It could be as simple as a little check mark box that describes their emotional state that day (ex: happy. rough day, sad, mad) and then that way the teacher can differentiate his or her instruction to make sure they are meeting the emotional needs of that student.

Comments: Knowing how the student feels on a particular day is a great idea so the teacher can allow her to take breaks and differentiate his instructions. It also shows that the teacher cares for the student and is there for her.
