What would you do if a student made a drawing that is alarming or concerning?
I saw this first hand during my internship many times where teachers would come down to our office to show us an essay that seemed to give off some red flags. There was one that was very inappropriate and we had the student come down to the office and asked questions first to just see what the students intentions were. Sometimes it seems as though the child was very innocent in what they did, and other times it seems alarming. If I believe that the drawing is giving way to some other issue that is important, I will ask the student if they have talked about it with anyone, and that I should probably share it with their parent. I give them the option to call with me in the office, or to have me do it privately.
