  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!)
Incorporate a lesson that includes the importance of hygiene so it involves all students and doesn't single out the twins. Make hygiene a fun and exciting lesson to get the students interested and eager to be involved in their own hygiene. You could also send a letter home to all parents/guardians discussing the importance of student hygiene. Sometimes hygiene differences can be cultural and this is a part of their belief system so sensitivity should be taken when discussing it.
