Two out of three of my mentees are best friends and are constantly talking in their native language. I have tried seating them farther from one another when we all work together, or having me or the third student sit between them. The teacher of the class knows they talk a lot, but only tells me to address it myself. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Remind students of their purpose for being mentored and give consequences if it continues to occur. Ultimately if the behavior continues the girls may need to be mentored at different times to ensure they are benefiting from your service to them.
