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!) You could ask the class if they like the intern and why, this will disguise that you are trying to find out what they student likes about the intern and try to implement what they do.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I do not think this will solve anything. The students may then tell the intern that you were talking about him or her in class and that may start a problem.

I do not think a teacher should be asking students if they like the intern (who should be seen as another teacher in the classroom, or if they like anyone) and why. Students should respect teachers equally, so if it is a respect issue the teacher should go over rules and consequences and/or teach a lesson on respect. If the teacher wants to know more about a student interacting with an intern, the teacher should have a private conversation with the intern. Sharing that they see how well the student listens for them, etc., and that they were wondering what methods the intern is using with the student. Rated On: October 7, 2018 9:51 pm Rated By: zazyny
