Case: Home Alone
A child's parents have chosen the child to stay in virtual learning due to COVID concerns. Yet, the teacher is constantly concerned that the child age 6 is home alone all day while learning virtually. There have been many issues with the child asking the teacher if they should answer the front door when the doorbell rang how to turn off the stove and that they were scared of the bad weather outside. The child hasn't said their home alone and won't answer the teacher when he/she asks if his/her parents are home. The teacher isn't sure what to do and is concerned for the child's safety given the constant alarming questions which are now interfering with the teacher's ability to teach. What should the teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This situation should not be handled independently by the teacher. If there are concerns for the child's wellbeing, the school social worker should be notified. The teacher could also reach out to the parents, offering support and providing resources if requested. All students would also benefit from engaging in a safety lesson and/or activity, learning ways in which they can keep themselves safe both at home and in the real world. |

| Comments: I think this is the best answer to this situation. The administration and school social worker should be notified immediately with the teacher's concerns and then handled. The teacher needs to do this first before doing anything else, the safety lesson is also a good idea in general no matter the situation. |

| Comments: I agree this should not fall on the teacher to fix this issue. It would be wise for the teacher to notify the guidance counselor and/or the vice principal of the situation. If the student was older, perhaps middle school, this would not be as big of an issue but a 6 year old should not be left home alone. |
