  Case: Inappropriate behaviors
There is a student who is going around telling other students that I am his girlfriend. It makes me uncomfortable teaching him, what should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
After discussing it with administration, I would set up a conference with the student and another teacher or administrator to explain why this is inappropriate. This needs to be handled whether he is 5 or 18 because it is inappropriate. I would not sit down with the student one-on-one, though, to protect yourself. If it continues to be an issue then administration needs to step in. Perhaps you can reach a solution with the student before it gets to this point, though.

Comments: I think it is a great idea to conference with the student. Communication is key here. He needs to know that it is not okay to spread false rumors. I agree that this conference should not happen alone with just you and the student.

Comments: I agree with this solution because the situation needs to be addressed no matter what the age of the student. Also, it is important to have another adult present when dealing with a situation like this regarding a sensitive topic. As a teacher, this is something you could handle on your own, but I would alert administration know these incidences are occurring.

Comments: I feel this solution would work the best. If you feel it is best to sit down with the student and discuss the situation, the best thing you can do to protect yourself is to have another adult (a co-worker or even a member of administration) sit with you.
