  Case: Student being inappropriate to teacher
I have a boy, around 18 years old, in my class that I am interning at that loves to make sexual comments at me and talk about me in a sexual way to his friends for amusement. I have tried everything I can to stop this student from doing this, including going to administration. Nothing has changed! My CT tells me to ignore him and he will stop. I am not comfortable with this and I do not want it to escalate to other students. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would also feel very uncomfortable with this. The next time I heard something I would write the student up. If he fights this, I would explain to him that I am not a peer: I am a teacher. Additionally, the fact that I am a teacher should not alter the respect you have for women. This behavior is continuing because nothing is being done about it. If a referral/detention doesn't work, I would see if there is a male teacher in his world that he respects and talk to them. Maybe they can reason with the student.
