The students walk into class and put their heads down and sleep the whole time. She dosent try to wake them up. What can you do as an intern to make the students stay awake during class? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As everyone agrees, there is not enough information to determine why she is letting her student's sleep. However, talking to her about what you are allowed to do to make them stay away would be advisable before making decisions on how you are going to handle it. If it is because she just gave up on them, then it is one thing. I have heard stories of students being allowed to sleep for a certain amount of time because they don't get enough sleep at home for valid reasons. I think knowing is half the battle here.
