  Case: I Don't Fit In
I have a Hispanic student in my class who struggles to get along with other students. He is constantly getting into arguments with other students and always thinks that everyone is against him. I have spoken to him about this, but the problems still continue. I'm not sure if his difficulties come from cultural differences or if he really does not get along with others. At times I think he gets defensive because he doesn't understand what is going on. How do I handle this problem?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try talking to this student about why he is feeling the need to argue with others. If the student is feeling isolated sit him next to a student who is outgoing and friendly to try and boost his self confidence. If the boy is feeling like everyone is against him make sure to compliment his work when on task so that he does not think you prefer other students over him. Allow the student to sit close to you during instruction so that he can ask any questions or request a slower pace of instruction to better understand material.
