The student appears tired most days and has fallen asleep in class several times. Over the period of a few days and with help from a Korean parent, I recently found out that from the time he gets home until about 10:00pm and again for two hours before school, he has to study English. How do I communicate his need for more rest with his parents without appearing to impose on their parenting and role in helping their son learn English? Further, how might I suggest some other strategies, such as allowing their son to interact with English speaking peers? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This is definitely a tough situation, but I think the best suggestion is letting them know that the child is falling asleep in class and its effective his school work. Suggest apps that the student can play at home and other options of things that the child can do, watching his favorite show in English, flashcards, etc. Encourage them to speak English at home so the child is not literally studying the language all night.
