Case: Student sleeps all day In my EBD room, I have a student who sleeps all day. He has a very rough home life ( mom on drugs and in and out of jail) and the father is in jail. I ask him why he is so tired and he just tells me that he stays up all night. From what I was told by other teachers, he runs the streets a lot and involved in some stuff with his mother. I am the co-teacher in the room and have spoke to the teacher about allowing him to sleep in the hallway (where two rooms connect by the bathroom) all day and not doing any work. I was told by the teacher that it is easier to allow him to sleep because if he is awake than he is disruptive. There is no talking to his mother because it has been done before and she does not care. How do I transition this student from sleeping at night and not during classroom time? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Since you are already aware of the student's home life, you can take every step possible while the student is at school to make sure they feel accepted and comfortable. This is a tricky situation because you do not want to cross a line with the family. Is there a social worker at your school who is able to do a home visit? Some parents react differently to a phone call than they would a home visit. This makes me really sad and I hope there was a solution. |
