Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Divorce is a tough situation for students. Of course, it is important to conference with parents to discuss how the divorce is affecting the student's behavior and academic progress. I would get the consoler involved to get the student to open up and possibly refer the family for group support. Finally, I would suggest a personal journal to write down their thoughts or feeling as a release of emotions.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I really like how you suggested a personal journal for the student to write down their thoughts or feelings as a release of emotions. I think it would be a great way for the students to process things and feel they have a place to write their thoughts and feelings down. Rated On: October 13, 2016 12:12 am Rated By: qeguve
