  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!)
The student probably does not have access to toiletries because they are low-income. Keeping some basic toiletries like deodorant and toothbrushes in the classroom will help students who do not have access to these items. Teach the class as a whole about hygiene and if the issue continues, pull the student to the side to explain that they are free to use the toiletries in the class and there is nothing to be ashamed of. It is also important to keep in mind that some cultures do not use deodorant like Americans do.

Comments: I think this is great. I would try and keep extra hotel toiletries in my class for students to take or use if they need.

Comments: I feel that teaching the whole class, while there is one obvious person who needs the lesson, may be embarrassing. I think approaching the child one-on-one may be less embarrassing.
