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!) In the previous solutions there is some controversy of whether it should be ignored or if the comments should be addressed. I think that there are times when ignoring it is the best and other times when confronting the comments directly would be the best. To decide weather to ignore or address the comment depends on knowing your students. If the student said it only where you can hear it and they seem to be looking for a reaction from you then it would be best to ignore the comment and not react to the student. If the student is making the comment in from of a group of students or the whole class than it would be better to address that the comments were inappropriate. Depending on the level of the students and the subjects that you teach, you may be able to squeeze in a lesson on appropriate comments, communications, or social skills about professional relationships with people such as teachers or their future boss. |
