  Case: New Migrant Child
I am a third grade teacher and I love my job! However, Lately, I have been having problems. I have a new Asian student that just came from China. She is coping very well with her change and is making friends, however, I have noticed that she scratches her hair a lot. One of the students told me that they saw her in the bathroom pulling things from her hair, What should I do? I am not sure if I should tell her parents or the faculty.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that you should report the problem to the school nurse. He/She would be able to take a deeper look into the situation.

Comments: The reason I agree with this more simplistic response is that most school districts will not allow a letter to be sent home with students if one is found to have lice nor will they send the child home. More importantly, the nurse and school counselor in addition to ESOL support should be working with the student to provide transitional support in her new educational environment.
