  Case: Teacher playing favorites
I have done volunteer work in a special needs school and worked closely with a specific teacher. She tends to play favorites with certain students. It is very obvious to anyone observing and while the students are low functioning, some of them are beginning to catch on. There are a few who receive very little attention from her and are beginning to act up as a result. Is there anything I can do to help this situation as simply a volunteer?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If there is anything you can do, I would talk to the teachers around you and let them know about the situation and see if there is anything that can be done. Possibly speaking to the teacher and letting them know that the students are noticing that they are favoring other students.

Comments: I would also talk to other teachers maybe they see the same pattern. If this continues to be an issue I would also talk to administration with the other teachers.

Comments: I don't think that is a very good idea even though one might now like what they see. As a volunteer it is not her place to talk to another teacher as to what she sees. I see that as gossip, if the volunteer is uncomfortable with what is going on then she should address these issues with the principal.
