  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?

The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes
The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes
The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes
The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No
The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: This is not the best solution, while the answer is not correct and needs to be handled delicately. More information should be provided for the teacher, the teacher needs to have tools available to bring this situation forth to administration, and then other steps need to be provided in order for the administration to be able to handle the situation.

Comments: I do not agree with this at all. The school administration should not be the one's to do a home visit. It should be handled through the social or guidance office and local authorities if the school believes the child will need a welfare check.
