  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!)
As noted, contacting the counselors office for support and outside resources could benefit the student/family. I would try to gather some information as to the students current situation by instructing all students to complete an exercise that would ultimately give you some more insight to that one child without singling him out. The activity could include written questions about their favorite music, style of clothing, shoes, shampoo, color, sport, season, toothpaste, etc. With this information a more informed plan could be formulated.
