They are visually upset and want to know what you are going to do about it. How do you handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There isn't much I can do as a teacher other than put the students into groups and let them socialize. However, I could write up a classroom survey of different likes and dislikes and have a class discussion of answers so that the student can find someone with similar interests.                 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 Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I like the idea of a classroom survey for likes and dislikes.

As educators we should be able to solve most of the problems that occur within our classroom or find ways to help prevent problems. Especially as elementary teachers we should be aware of the issue of children who may not make friends as easy as others therefore we should be prepared with ways to help those children.

In turn, they may not trust your capabilities and authority as their child's teacher.
