  Case: Study English 24/7
I have a new Korean student in my class. I speak a little Korean. He completes his work, including homework. The student appears tired most days and has fallen asleep in class several times. Over the period of a few days and with help from a Korean parent, I recently found out that from the time he gets home until about 10:00pm and again for two hours before school, he has to study English. How do I communicate his need for more rest with his parents without appearing to impose on their parenting and role in helping their son learn English? Further, how might I suggest some other strategies, such as allowing their son to interact with English speaking peers?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a tricky situation! It would be wise to have person who can speak fluent Korean with you when you meet with the parents. If possible, it would be helpful to provide Korean literature on the importance of these strategies! I would try to stress the idea of allowing their son to interact with English speaking peers, maybe even suggesting that he join a sports team, because sports to not always require vast amounts of communication.

Comments: Yes this is tricky. You don't want to insult the parents. This may be part of their culture. Having someone who speaks Korean with the teacher at the meeting would be beneficial.
