  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!)
I would ensure to keep toiletries in my desk for instances like these. First I would speak to the student one on one. Them I would privately provide the student with the toiletries so that they can use them. I would also set up a meeting witht he school guidance counselor to see if there is anything that can be done about setting up a meeting with the parents' to talk about this situation and to offer any assistance.
