But what about a teacher? How exactly do you tell a Fourth Grade Boy that he should probably start wearing some deodorant?Today is Field Day. We will be back in the classroom for about an hour at the end of the day. It is going to be one big stinkfest.

I remember having a lecture after recess in fifth grade about how we "weren't too young to start wearing deodorant".
We all giggled wildly, but the point came across.
Mister falcon has a good strategy. If that doesn't work ask nurse W*ndy to talk to him:)or his PE teacher if that doesnt work do the old guess a number between 1 and 100 game and whatever number he says wins and then hand him a bag filled with bandaids,toothpaste, mouthwash and deodorant LOL
Our old housemaster at boarding school used to start down the path of a frank and open discussion and then chicken out.
In one peculiar case one of my fellow maladjusted inmates (probably now a wealthy trader or equerry to the Queen) had wiped poo on the wall of a bathroom stall.
The girls are dimissed from the dining room: all we boys must stay. Housemaster stands up, trembling with rage and puce of face, and intones:
"Some foul young man has smeared S-H-I-T on the walls of the toilets. And that spells 'excrement'".
With English skills like that, goid alone knows how he became a teacher.
The moral of this long story is of course, never mention it to the kid. Instead, subtly encourage another kid to lightly bully him so you can broach the subject along with a discussion of standing up for oneself and boxing lessons.
Floriat sapientia.
