  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?

Perhaps the teacher was just helping you find your limits. If you exist only in a comfortable bubble, you'll never grow.

Comments: I don't agree that the teacher was being helpful but rather taking advantage. It's important for people, especially professionals, to understand boundaries when differences in power/role occur.
