  Case: Taken Advantage Of
Within my first internship, my cooperating teacher essentially had me take over the class within the very first week of my placement. I did not feel comfortable doing this as she had me doing tasks that were not required. For instance, making homework for the entire third grade team, teaching other classes besides my placement, and having me arrive and stay hours before and after school.

How should I have gone about this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Although you are uncomfortable, I would approach this teacher and ask how she can help you figure out a way for you to be comfortable. Although the teacher may seem she is taking advantage of you, she may have a reason for what she is doing and may have a reasonable answer when asked. Either way, you should talk to this teacher.

Comments: I do not agree with this solution. I think they should talk to their own supervisor first and maybe have the supervisor talk with them.
