  Case: Student teacher lunch
I have a student who comes to my classroom and wants to eat lunch with me every day. She comes in and asks to have a "bite" of my sandwich, or for me to split my food with her. I started locking the door but she knows I am in there and will continue to knock will I open the door. She has friends to eat with, but I think she just does not like the cafeteria food and wants my lunch instead. She does not come in and talk to me either, she just sits on her phone and asks me to walk with her to a restaurant close to the school and buy her food. What do I do with this student? Do I continue to give her my food, or do I put my foot down?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You definitely need to put your foot down and talk with her about the situation. Maybe she is bullied in the cafeteria and does not wish to be around her peers. Also, it is strange that she does not sit and talk with you or confide in you about anything she is going through. Maybe she has troubles at home and I think it is necessary that you discuss with her that this behavior is not okay.
