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!) I would ask to set up a meeting with the parents, as written communication can be difficult to distinguish tone. I would compliment and thank the parents for the work they do for their child at home to help them succeed. I would then share my concerns about the effect his energy level is having on his academics. To address the importance of interacting with English speaking peers, I would find some literature to have translated for the parents.                 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: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this Rated On: March 7, 2016 5:23 pm Rated By: eRyber                 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 would do exactly this.
