  Case: Picking up students
An approachable, passionate teacher loves helping her students. 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!)
I am a college student working to achieve my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. My supervisor at internship explicitly said that we should never pick up or drop off students. Even if you are trying to help the student, this act of kindness could easily be misconstrued; In this case, it is better to be safe than sorry. If the student has to walk a far distance to school every day, it might be something to talk about with the administration. You might be able to set up a car pool or help the student in another way.
