Her mom has been very sick, which causes her to cry in the middle of the class or loose focus. Mr. Askew has talked to the school counselor and the department has talked to her, but the behavior seems to persist. He tries to be supportive but his options are running low. What should Mr. Askew do in this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Mr. Askew, Can encourage the student and reassure her that even though her mother is sick all is well and that her mother wants her to be successful and pass her classes. Let her know that it is ok to cry and if she has too implement a system where its ok for her to go and have her moment then come back to class and continue her work. Continue to speak w/ the guidance counselor and or social worker to get her some support.
