  Case: Flirting
I am currently an intern and I have been to a few schools where the some of the coaches and male teachers flirt with me. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This unacceptable, and should be addressed immediately. You should not feel uncomfortable in an environment where you are all suppose to be professional and working, as well as working around children. I would personally try talking to either the teacher you are interning with, or if you are not interning with a cooperating teacher or they are apart of the problem, you should go to the principle or your university supervisor (if you're interning with a university). I would personally, if this were me in the situation, also try talking to those who are flirting and making me uncomfortable. I know sometimes flirting can be difficult to identify if it's not straight forward, a lot of people can mistake being polite with flirting. So, I think it would help to make those suspected of it alert of how you feel, that way they can acknowledge the situation and avoid making you uncomfortable again. If they refuse or react negatively, definitely move on to what I mentioned in the beginning and go straight to someone in charge.

It is the responsibility of everyone within the workplace to make the environment positive and professional. This post also mentions the importance of being straightforward with the offending party and to alert others to the situation.

Comments: I like this solution. Even though it's most likely flirting, it's possible they're just really friendly. So you should discuss it with them to make sure. If it's flirting, definitely talk to administration.

Comments: I agree with this solution to talk to your supervisors or those doing the flirting to try and resolve the issue. They should not have to feel uncomfortable and it is a professional space, so it should not be ignored.
