  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!)
If this student has the means to provide her own lunch I think that you should put your foot down and stop buying her lunch. You should explain that it is inappropriate to buy her lunch and to spend the lunch time with her and that although you appreciate your relationship it must stay appropriate and fair to the other students
