  Case: Classroom teacher displaying favoritism with certain students
I am currently in an internship and am having an issue with the classroom teacher (not my CT). She displays clear favoritism with certain students and allows them to get away with everything including leaving the class without permission, using cellphones during lecture times, and giving extra time or extra credit on assignments. When I am teaching on my intern days she consistently interrupts my lessons to talk with her favorite students and then gets into arguments with the students she doesn't like or writes them referrals for exhibiting the same behavior as her favorites. How do I address this with my CT and the classroom teacher without seeming like I am trying to get her in trouble?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first start asking questions to the teacher and question her behavior. Ask her for an explanation as to why she may have written a referral to certain students, and make it a learning experience instead of questions her. Also, reach out to your supervisor and ask them for advice and make sure to write a review on your CT once your internship ends.
