  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'm sure the student feels isolated to some extent. Maybe ask the student to bring in some artifacts from his culture and share them with the class. This will make him feel important while allowing the other students to be exposed to some of his interests.

Comments: Finding out the underlying reasons these situations occur first will help in making the decision if this should happen or not. It might cause more alienation and though this would probably help to get a different perspective of the situation, things might get worse.
