  Case: Fostering Students
Mrs. Appleby has a student in her class that was recently taken from his parents. The student is very attached to her and makes comments about wishing he was her child and could go home with her. The school counselor asked if she would be willing to go through foster parent classes because of the attachment the child has to her. What do you think she should do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that fostering children is a great thing. However if she isn’t in a place to do it then she can’t. I think the thing she can do is make sure is ready/able/okay with taking the student in. If not they ask around to see if anyone can and try to make the student feel wanted even though she may not be able to take them in.
