Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Bed bugs I have a student who has a bed bug problem at home. I have seen several of them in the classroom recently and I have alerted the office as well as the head plant operator. How should I approach the student and their family? Should I have the school counselor speak to them instead? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Provide the student with educational materials they can take home with them about prevention of bed bugs. I would also address this issue with the parents, being that it is major.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: while the teacher should contact the family and administration about the bugs because it is a health concern for all students as well as the afflicted child, it is not necessarily their responsibility to provide the products necessary for the family to deal with it at home Rated On: February 23, 2020 8:57 pm Rated By: Vanessa Tuliau                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't think sending home pamphlets is a good idea. It will come off condescending and rude in my opinion. I also don't think a teacher should be spending their valuable time looking for pamphlets about bed bugs when there are other resources available. Rated On: October 6, 2020 10:46 pm Rated By: aSaByN
