  Case: hungry
A boy in my class during my ESOL practicum cries every day around the same time that he is so hungry. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You can talk to the student and see if he is eating lunch or at least eating throughout the day. You can talk to his teacher and see if this is an ongoing thing in the classroom. As other people have said, you can keep small snacks in the classroom for the students, but not snacks for everyday. This is something small on occasion.

Comments: I feel that the teacher would know if this is a reoccurring issue with the student. I like the idea of having available snacks to provide to students if needed but they should not be the ones given everyday but only when needed. I can see myself in my future classroom having extra snacks just in case a student is hungry and needing it.

Comments: I agree that the teacher should keep snacks, but if the teacher can have snacks everyday, why not? Maybe that snack that the teacher provides in the morning will help the student all day. If the teacher can't afford snacks everyday then she can reach out to organizations to donate snacks to the classroom

Comments: This solution is good because is addresses the issue, without making the teacher responsible for giving the student food every day. Just be careful that the student doesn't get too dependant on this!
