  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 talk to the student one on one and express your concerns. When talking to him, I would make him feel comfortable and not embarrassed. Since this student is low-income that's most likely why he isn't able to buy hygiene products. If this was my student I would keep some products in my classroom that he is able to use throughout the day.
