One student in particular seems to have developed a close, professional relationship with her. One day, she sees the student walking down the street just before the sun sets as it begins to get dark. Based on the student's address in the school's database, she realizes that the student is far from their home address. What should the teacher do? Should the teacher give the student a ride? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Its is unfortunate that teachers are put in a position to have to debate on whether or not to allow students into their vehicles, especially when trying to help students in need. I would have given the student a ride home and then gone in to speak with parents about helping the student out with rides of or needs, if the teacher is willing. If you were very concerned with giving the student a ride you could call them a taxi and pay the fee.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I do not agree with this solution. It would not be appropriate to give the child a ride home without permission from the parents first.
