  Case: Listening to the Intern
There is a student that is genuinely good when there in an intern in the room. 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!)
Even though the intern is there twice a week it is important to remember it is your classroom. Having the intern help discipline/ignore the student at times is important to remind the student that the intern is not the teacher. The student might enjoy seeing the intern more since they are only there twice a week and not on a regular basis. As the teacher you need to stand your ground and not punish the intern but explain the situation and have them help as much as possible.
