They constantly run to the intern and when ever the intern asks the student to do something they do it immediately. Whenever I ask the student I have to ask several times. The student also acts out whenever it is just myself and constantly interrupts me during lessons. Is there anything I can do to possibly get the student to listen to myself? The intern is only with me two days out of the week and will occasionally come in to fulfill some volunteer hours. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I find that it is usually the opposite way. The first few days an intern starts students are quiet and respectful because they do not know the other adult in the room. I am also sure they teach differently from you which the student might find refreshing to experience. Maybe talk to the intern and have a conference with the student. But it is also good know not to make it too serious of a thing. Try having the intern teach with you and help.
