Case: Boy, don't you ever shower? It is obvious from the first day of class that one of the students has bad body odor. By the end of the third week, you start to realize that the student as Steve. The other students in the class are going to greater and greater lengths to avoid sitting next to him. They mime choking when he sits in the seat in front of them. Any reference to odor or smell in the classroom is met with snickering. Finally, one day after Steve comes in late and sits next to a student in the front row, he turns to Steve and says, "Boy, don't you ever shower?" The class breaks up in hysterics. When should I have intervened? How?, What should I say to student? What should I say to others? Should I confront the class with Steve present? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It would be a great idea to do a lesson based on personal hygiene. This will allow you to reach out to this child without personally attacking him. Another lesson idea would be to teach about bullying. This would prevent a lot of trouble in the future. If this act continues to go on, I would pull the child aside and talk to him one-on-one to see what is going on. |
