Case: Student Smells Bad
There is a student in my internship who always shows up dirty and smelling bad. His smell can be a distraction to other students in the class. My CT has heard from other school staff that the student's family is very low-income, and this has been a repeated issue in the past. What can or should we do to address the issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In order to not publicly embarrass the student I would first suggest to my CT that we seek advise from the schools's guidance counselor. Set up a meeting with the parents and discuss what is happening in the classroom which is now becoming a distraction from learning. Inform the parents if there is no running water at home the student could use the gym showers to shower before school begins. Bring in wall plugs if allowed, and ignore the smell. When the teacher models this behavior their students will follow and soon will be forgotten. Many of our students will come from different backgrounds, it is not their fault their family's may be unable to afford utilities. It is our job to prevent offensive behaviors before they escalate. |

Comments: offering a student to use the showers at school before the day if there is no running water at home is a unique solution, that obviously would have to be run by administration, but is a great one. also bringing extra toiletries would also be considerate and could mean the world of difference

Comments: I completely agree with this because school counselors are more equipped to work with these situations. They may also be able to reach to the families. |

Comments: Consulting a CT or guidance counselor seems to be the best solution. IF the guidance counselor discusses it with the student, they will probably feel the least embarrassed. |
