  Case: The Clingy Student
You are a first grade teacher and have a student that is always seeking your attention. She always asks for help although you believe she is in no need of it. She also constantly requests for you to look over her work to make sure she is doing it correctly. This is keeping you from assisting other students. How do you handle the situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would make a chart for this student to earn rewards. I would let her know that for every 10-15 minutes she can stay in her seat and work hard at her desk she would get a sticker. When she gets 3 stickers she gets some kind of reward. Whatever you do for your class. Once you feel that she has mastered the 10-15 minutes mover her up to 20-30 minutes.

Comments: I feel this is a good technique, just not for this situation. If it is a regular first grader I feel as though this is to simple of a task.

Comments: This system seems unfair because it is rewarding a student for what he or she is supposed to be doing. Other students may follow in the same behavior for the reward.
