A caring responsible teacher would recommend the student see the school guidance counselor. Then report the accusation to the principal who will then take the proper steps to ensure the childs well being.

This is for a social worker to deal with or the police. Although I am not a huge advocate of social services, they do have a job to do IF there is a valid and confirmed concern.

It was my understanding that teacher’s were required to report this to the proper authorities (or through the school counselor, principal etc.) If the teacher doesn’t report this to the proper authorities to investigate, they are endangering the child.

Any disclosure of drug use (by anyone in the home) is a mandatory report to CPS.

Beyond that, you can do what you can to support that student.

I think your response merits consideration on what the situation is.

I’m thinking about a time when a parent came to conferences, and when he took off his hat to shake my hand, a joint rolled out. The parent was a professional jazz musician, the kid (high school) was well-adjusted, articulate, and thriving. I looked the other way. But I’ve also had a student, who was homeless, because of her mother’s crack addiction. Her mother was prostituting herself in front of her daughter. I called CPS. Daughter turned 18 in the meantime, and social services stopped helping. She was advised to go to a homeless shelter. She ended up living with my family, was able to graduate high school and move on. There’s no easy solutions.

unlawful immigration motives many issues it is for confident. it is an straight forward actuality.

Contributing to the tax base and so on. that would depart 7 million activity vacancies. could our usa be waiting to guard that many leaving the artwork tension? no longer quite. could people step into those jobs for the pay provided? no longer quite. agencies base line is earnings. could they improve wages to get people to artwork those jobs? no longer quite. extra agencies could start to outsource. to that end leaving many people out of jobs that now carry jobs. Our finished usa could crumple and the large melancholy could look as though a cakewalk. As i’ve got mentioned unlawful immigration is incorrect and desires to end. yet we additionally ought to be sensible on deporting as you’re saying 20 million people. have self belief me…that’s not going to take place for quite a few motives. So we ought to circulate forward and think of of sensible the type to handle the region to hand and additionally insure the unlawful subject is stemmed interior the destiny. extra useful border secure practices and visa systems ought to be dealt with first and superb so the region would not gradually worsen. as quickly as the circulate is stopped we can then artwork on what to do with those already right here.

Report it to the principal and he/she should report it to Social Services. Document as much as you can to cover your butt.
