What is the best way to handle this? Do you bring it up to the parents? Do you let the child sleep? Is it fair to the other students to let the child sleep? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The student may have special circumstances at home in which they are not able to sleep, for example, being homeless, or having to work or take care of siblings. The teacher should first have a discussion with the student to try to connect with them and understand why they are so tired. The teacher can then offer them resources to try to solve the problem.
