How do you go about helping someone who has very strong body odor?
DD is in a class with a young teacher who she likes a lot and does a great job teaching. But she has terrible body odor. In fact, my two sons who don't take her course can smell her outside her classroom (she is the only teacher who uses this room). My DD said it doesn't really bother her because her sense of smell was affected when she got COVID. But a friend of mine with kids in the same class said it smells so bad that her boys come home with headaches.
I can't understand why the dean of the high school hasn't said anything other than her room is in a corner of the building next to the restrooms but not near other classes. So maybe the other faculty think it's the restrooms that smell? Also, the high school dean of students is a male who is usually kind of awkward and always asks one of the female teachers to speak to girls who are out of uniform or have issues so I don't see him telling this teacher she needs to do something about her body odor.
The other mom felt very strongly that the school should do something about this. I am concerned she might blurt something out that embarrasses someone or hurts feelings. How can we resolve this delicately? The teacher is nice and DD really likes her class. She wouldn't want her teacher hurt or embarrassed. Thoughts?
