What do you or other teachers do when a good student is going through rough times and might fail?

The most important thing is the well-being of the student.  Sometimes school has to come second, third or even fourth in priority to their other needs.  Each individual student and their situation is different so it always depends, but teachers usually work together to support the student in whatever way possible.  Sometimes that can be providing them with a quiet space in another part of the school, counselling, connecting to community resources, accommodations in class, etc.  The student’s well-being definitely comes first though.
