  Case: Removed from Class
A student continuously shows up in the middle of your instruction asking for help in other subjects. As the teacher, you provide the best help possible, but ask the student why he keeps coming to you rather than his other teachers. He claims the teachers are sending him to the ESOL classroom when he asks them for assistance. You assume this is because they do not want to deal with an ESOL student, but you don't always have the time to help them. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I’m not sure that approaching the other teachers is the best approach. They may feel as though you are blaming them, accusing them, or making assumptions about their teaching. Maybe the other teachers have arraigned for the student to see the ESOL teacher in certain instances. I would continue to help the student as much as possible, and monitor the situation until your intervention is definitely needed.
