  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!)
Parents should definitely be involved in this situation right away. There could be underlying medical reasons that need attention and possibly the parents are not aware. Also, the student may not be receiving enough hours of sleep. Educate the parents on the importance of proper sleep. Be sure to do this in a manner that the parents/guardian does not take offense or thinking they are being attacked.

Comments: Thank you for mentioning that there is a REASON behind the child sleeping in class. The most extreme reason would be a medical issue but the easiest way to prevent a student from sleeping without causing a fight would be finding the root of the problem itself.

Comments: You make some very good points, bringing up this topic can make the parents feel sensitive . I think starting off by bringing up why the conference was called and by stating you do not know if the student is falling asleep on their own, if they're overly tired or if they aren't getting enough sleep at home.
