There is a 4th grade student that always comes to class very tired, in dirty clothes, and often smells bad. To add insult to injury, I've seen his mother and she is very well kept, dressed with all the "bling accessories," her nails done, hair done, etc. I can't understand how a mother can take such great care for herself, and leave the child a filthy mess. How should this be addressed and handled properly? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) To avoid insulting the child and making him feel bad, I would ignore the bad hygiene because some children are very stubborn when it comes to daily care. I assume his mother tries to get him in the shower and take care of his hygiene, but he may refuse to and not listen.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I do not agree with this solution and I would not recommend this. The teacher should not ignore the issue, neither should they assume. Rated On: October 14, 2020 10:12 pm Rated By: Yvette Dixon
