  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!)
The child could have lice but I wouldn't just go to her and assume that she has. As a 3rd grader this is very touchy subject. If you think that the child has lice take her to the nurses office, stay with her because this may be something that is new so it will probably be scary to her. Send a letter home with every student in the classroom informing the parents that a student had lice but remember do not include the name of that child. After the student has been checked out and everything is better have a talk with that student and ensure her that whenever something else like that is going on she can come to you and tell you in confidence.
