  Case: CT favorites
My CT has two favorite students in the class. It is very obvious to the other students who they are, and I can see the sadness on some of the other students faces when she gives them extra attention or tasks to do for her in the classroom. I'm just the intern so I am not sure it is my place to say anything to her. Should I say something? If so, what should I say?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would twist the situation and approach your CT as an intern that is trying to learn from her. I would ask something like "What is your classroom management style? How do you feel about having favorites in the classroom?" I would also try and counteract her and give the other students more attention.

Comments: This is a great idea as to how to approach the problem! Rather than be accusatory, make it sound like you're asking for help. That reduces the odds of conflict in the future.

Comments: I agree with making it seem like you are trying to learn from the teacher when you bring it up. Maybe ask, "How do you pick students to do each job?" or something else general like that which will cause the teacher to consider why she always chooses the same two students.
