Three of the following strategies are consistent with the textbook's recommendations for addressing nonproductive teacher-student relationships. Which one is not consistent with its recommendations?
A) Seek the permission of Ruth's parents to take her to her favorite fast-food restaurant for lunch on a Saturday afternoon.
B) Meet privately with Ruth to talk about her behavior and find out what her concerns are.
