She tends to play favorites with certain students. It is very obvious to anyone observing and while the students are low functioning, some of them are beginning to catch on. There are a few who receive very little attention from her and are beginning to act up as a result. Is there anything I can do to help this situation as simply a volunteer? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As a volunteer, I feel like the only thing you could do is give the other students your attention so that they do not feel left out. It is rude for the teacher to play favorites in a classroom. But by making sure that the other students have your attention might be better for them.
