I have a student who comes to my classroom and wants to eat lunch with me every day. She comes in and asks to have a "bite" of my sandwich, or for me to split my food with her. I started locking the door but she knows I am in there and will continue to knock will I open the door. She has friends to eat with, but I think she just does not like the cafeteria food and wants my lunch instead. She does not come in and talk to me either, she just sits on her phone and asks me to walk with her to a restaurant close to the school and buy her food. What do I do with this student? Do I continue to give her my food, or do I put my foot down?

I would suggest for you to put your foot down by having a conversation with the student about bringing a lunch from home if she does not like the cafeteria food.

It is important to put your foot down. While it's understandable that the student may not like the school food, at the end of the day it is your food. Failing to assert your feelings will set a precedent with her and will make any changes to this dynamic harder the longer you let it happen.

It would be useful to know this child's age. An older child may need more discipline in this situation than a child of younger years. It is also important to understand a bit about the child's background and socioeconomic status. More intrinsic problems may be at work here.
