  Case: Sleeping Student
A student constantly falls asleep during class. You wake them up several times but they just fall back asleep. What is the best way to handle this? Do you bring it up to the parents? Do you let the child sleep? Is it fair to the other students to let the child sleep?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would alert the schools counselor to help you contact the parents to see if there are any issues within the home that could be causing this. The student could be falling asleep because they are bored, or it could be a bigger issue of neglect or inability to sleep at home. It's best to have backup when approaching the studenfts parents, just in case this becomes a bigger issue.

Comments: I think this response is great! Many times it can be an at home situation that is not allowing a student to sleep or causing other disruptions.
