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 think if I were in this situation, I would greet the student and start up a conversation that would bring about an answer as to whether they are in need of a ride or not. They might be out with friends or family or work. The age/grade of the student isn't given, so it's hard to assume whether the student is of an age where it's normal to see them walking around alone. But, after determining the situation by greeting the student, if they really were in need of a ride, I would have them call their parents. I would then either confirm with their parents whether they would like me to escort their child home or to maybe wait with their child until their parent or someone is able to come and pick them up.
