  Case: Smelling of Animals and Body Order
I have a set of twins in my classroom that smell of cat urine and body order. They preform well and their parents seem to care about their academic goals. However, I am worried about their hygiene. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, I would try to understand their home life. Talk to their parents too, mention that you think the cat might be spraying on their stuff with the intention that the parents had no idea from being too busy. Second, I think that most schools have a washer and a dryer. Offer to have them bring in spare clothes and see if you can wash it for them once in a while. Some students may have just one sick cat that may not be able to control their bladder, and that can be an issue. Also kids are going through Hormonal changes, so they may smell worse than it really is. Just give them the best accommodations, like taking a five minute restroom break so they can possibly sponge bath it off too.
