What should I do? I am at a high school and am having issues with students not wanting to come to class anymore (I do pullout). Students have come to me and said they do not want to come because of the student teacher. I've told them to give it a chance but I know exactly how and why they feel the way they do.

I can help with changing up the lesson and supply materials but I cannot change the lesson delivery that is dry as toast unless I step in, which I have done several times because students are losing interest. Do I tell the student teacher the true reason students are dropping our class like flies? Need suggestions. Thanks!
