what to do about the smelly kid

A kid in two of my classes really smells. My class is small and his smell travels. Everyone in the class is dying as well. What should I do? He doesn’t speak English very well either.

a tricky situation indeed. i don’t know what to do. give him a nicely wrapped bar of soap for christmas? like, how bad are we talking here? does he smell unpleasant or worse than christian slater after a 3 week bender?
i think you just grin a bare it to be honest. i might make constant, undirected comments about “what smells?” or “where the hell is that putrid stank coming from. i’m gonna toss lunch if i have to smell that filthy, noxious odour any more!” and then look at him. now granted, he’ll feel bad and you’ll be an asshole, but it’s a small price to pay for saving your olfactory system from almost certain peril.
best o’ luck with Stinky McNasty, and have a good xmas.
