Is that giving special attention to one student or should you give it to all the students in the class? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Although this student struggles with test taking there is no evidence that a piece of candy or gum will help them focus. Giving gum or candy to one student distracts not only that student but also other students in the class that see the reward as unfair. If you do give something out I would suggest giving each student in the class a mint to calm testing nerves.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: The gum or candy may be a great way for that student to succeed, if so they should be given gum or peppermints.
