  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!)
First, if the student is in middle school or high school, there is a lot going on in his head. As a teacher, we need to understand that he had moved from his routine and a place where he could understand everyone. Sometimes peers do not help to make the situation better and pick on those new, funny talking students. I went through the same situation, I was the new student. I decided not to talk in class or to anybody because some peers would make fun of my accent or my non-sense communication. I would suggest to find someone that the student feels comfortable talking to and find out what is the real reason he is acting out.
