  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!)
The teacher should reach out to all the parents and ask how it is going. The teacher should also contact the school administration and see what the policies are and how to go about the situation. I think the teacher should then reach out to the students parents and voice her concern in an appropriate way.
