  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!)
As a professional we should not have favorites, although there are those ones who makes it hard for you to resist. I have encountered this lately as well and the class suffers from teachers playing favorites and as an intern I would bring to her attention that sometimes it looks like she favors other students and we don't want others to develop a complex because they are left out so maybe we should figure out a way to include everyone. For example making helping hands and giving students different jobs everyday.

Comments: I agree, bring it up to her and tell her how you see it's affecting other students, because she might not even realize it.
