The problem is with the student, a female in the second grade. Her parents were divorced within the past two years, and she lives with her father. She has a teenage brother and a teenage sister who don't really care much for her well-being, and who are out of control, according to the father. The student in question is below grade level in all academic areas, and she has low self-esteem. She already has severe attendance problems within just the first month of school. (Obviously, there are other issues here; they are already being addressed.)
Other students in the classroom avoid sitting with her because of her body odor. What's a tactful way of approaching the father with this situation ?
