  Case: Body Odor
A student walks past you as they enter the classroom, and they smell horrible. How can you address this without embarrassing the student and keeping the student around them from being disruptive?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a High School teacher, I would always keep a "go-to" bag in my desk. In this bag are sticks of travel-size deodorant, mints, and hand sanitizer (bath and body). I have pulled students aside and informed them of body smells. I have always been thanked because they usually were coming from the gym and forget their deodorant at home. It was good to be seen as a concerned teacher then allow this student to remain self conclusions because they forgot a cheap piece of hygiene equipment.

Comments: I am going to use this advice in my future classroom. Everyone needs equipment for hygiene and students shouldn't be ashamed of needing supplies. It's a normal part of growing up!

Comments: A "go-to" bag sounds like a smart resource to keep in the classroom. However, do teachers need to supply the resources? It may not be a cheap solution for everyone.
