  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!)
I would always have personal hygiene items for students to take if they don't have any at home. A former teacher of mine had a great idea of having spray deodorant (not the roll on kind) available in the bathroom for students to use if they felt they needed it. This way students could use it privately and without being judged by the other students. I don't remember the name of the teacher but it is a good idea.

Comments: The only issue with this is the cost that it may run up in the long run compared to the wages that teachers bring home.

Comments: It's smart to keep the toiletries in the bathroom already, that way students don't have to be embarrassed by asking for them
