  Case: Student's medication
Mrs. Smith has a student that requires medication during the day for focus and to keep the student from becoming violent. She lives with her very young mother and they both live with a lady that is a foster parent to children. The problem is that the medication is so inconsistent, the student is failing many of her tasks. What is the best way to handle this problem?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The first step is to approach the school guidance counselor and nurse. In the meantime, while the proper people are looking into the situation a teacher needs to do her/his part in the classroom. As a preservice teacher, I would prompt the student of what we are going to do before I gave directions to the whole class. I think maybe if the student is not surprised with the things, she may react better.
