They constantly run to the intern and when ever the intern asks the student to do something they do it immediately. Whenever I ask the student I have to ask several times. The student also acts out whenever it is just myself and constantly interrupts me during lessons. Is there anything I can do to possibly get the student to listen to myself? The intern is only with me two days out of the week and will occasionally come in to fulfill some volunteer hours. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Having the Intern teach a lesson to get everyones attention would be key. Then once the intern has all of the students attention he/she should tell the students that she is not the teacher and even though they should respect them, that they should respect the teacher. If the class is that bad and won't listen to the teacher then maybe it would be a good idea to have the intern praise the children after completing something the student does since they look up to him/her.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No 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: The intern shouldn't have to address this to the students so directly. "Hi, now that I have your attention, please stop ignoring your real teacher" - that would be catastrophic for the teacher and the intern. It's like telling your boss "I know that you like me and the work I do, but you need to pay attention to John, he feels unloved lately." If there is a great issue with the students, the teacher must address it. Rated On: October 10, 2017 2:45 pm Rated By: yGeHyz
