  Case: Sleeping Student
A student constantly falls asleep during class. You wake them up several times but they just fall back asleep. What is the best way to handle this? Do you bring it up to the parents? Do you let the child sleep? Is it fair to the other students to let the child sleep?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would possibly try reaching out to the parents and behavioral specialist. There is obviously something deeper that they are struggling with and parents and behavioral specialists are a great start. There is something at home that is causing a problem, perhaps do a home visit to see what is going on their. let the student sleep if they need but remind them that this is not the place to sleep, there is a balance that will be found based on the classroom
