  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!)
This is a touchy subject because their are many families who cannot provide the adequate amount of food for their children to function in school and at home. These families often do not speak up for fear of judgement and shame but their children never the less suffer. It is a good idea to speak with your supervising teacher about the students background and normal behaviors. It is possible that they are trying to pull a "one-over" on you because you re new to the classroom but there is also a possibility that there is a more serious issue. You should first determine if this is normal behavior and if so, what the teacher has done to change this. If this is an actually issue there are programs the student can be part of that send food home on the weekends and the student will receive free breakfast and lunch throughout the year as well as school breaks. The teacher should be able to determine this and if not you calling attention to it should provide the push the teacher needs to further inspect it. It is not always wise to over step your supervising teacher so asking to go to administration before hand is always a good idea. You can keep a supply of food in case students come late to school and cannot make breakfast or miss lunch but you should not give these students snacks throughout the day unless specified by the school.
