  Case: Removed from Class
A student continuously shows up in the middle of your instruction asking for help in other subjects. As the teacher, you provide the best help possible, but ask the student why he keeps coming to you rather than his other teachers. He claims the teachers are sending him to the ESOL classroom when he asks them for assistance. You assume this is because they do not want to deal with an ESOL student, but you don't always have the time to help them. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would bring the student into my class full time. Clearly he is looking to me for guidance, and rather than have him distract me whilst teaching other students, I want to have him on the same track with them. That will give me the time I need to address his language issues and instructional needs.

I will notify the principal and his parents about this too, although I will go ahead and keep helping him even if they tell me I am wrong. It is my duty as a teacher to assist people who are reaching out to me.

Comments: As this solution may help the student, it's not the right way to approach it. Talking with the students' teachers before making this a permanent thing can help the teacher learn for future reference. You could even help the teacher learn with this fellow student.

Comments: I don't think automatically adding the student into the class list is the best way possible at least not at first.

Comments: The student needs to learn how to get help from their other teachers, keeping them full time will not help them grow with their peers.
