She is brilliant in class and very helpful. So most more you stop to get ice coffee and decide to bring this student some as well. She comes to your class early in the morning and you think most students don't recognize the frozen treat. Well one day your principal comes to speak to you about a complaint another parent complained that you were showing favoritism to one student in the class. What should be the consequences for the teacher, if any? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I do not think it is appropriate to bring a student an iced coffee regularly. It is one thing if it was once because she came to help early in the morning but this should not be a regular event. I also think that maybe the teacher is doing other things they might not notice that is showing favoritism to this student. I would suggest treating all students equally even if one might be more helpful than another.
