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!) Contact the school guidance counselor or social worker to find out the next steps. A home visit may be necessary to see if the student is in fact home alone. My step son is 8 and had a tendency for bending the truth when he was younger. If this student is truly home alone consistently, the situation needs to be escalated. Make sure to follow up with guidance/social worker to assure something is being done. |
