  Case: Playing favorites
In my current internship, I am working in an SVE classroom at an ESE center. There is one classroom teacher, and she has two assistants. There is only one female student in the classroom. She is very bright, but has a VERY slow processing time. The aids have absolutely no patience for her. They constantly get annoyed and reprimand her for small things, but do not treat any of the other students like this. I have made it my personal goal to have a high tolerance level for her, and praise her as often as I can. My CT does not act this way toward her, but does not do anything about the attitudes of her assistants. I think she is afraid of disrupting the peace in the classroom. Does anyone have any suggestions for how this should be solved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would pull one assistant aside and ask to have a friendly conversation with them. I gently imply that I have noticed that she does not treat the student in the same way as other. Then, I would simply ask why it is that she feels like the student is not doing what they are supposed to do. Because some conflict may be caused, I would be sure to say that you have the students' best interest in mind.

Comments: This is a good idea in theory but could be a bit tricky as well. I would make sure I had someone else there to talk with.
