  Case: Isolated Student
There is a student in my internship that refuses to work in a group, and always begs for her desk to be separated from her group so she can sit alone. She tells myself and my CT that she does not like other kids her age and doesn't have any interest in making friends. What can or should be done for this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Possibly try getting close to her yourself, there's an obvious trust issue she has with her peers they could've done something behind her back that you don't know of or it could be other personal reasons. Building up trust between the two of you could have her open up and you can sit her next to another trusted student (probably the nicest one you have) and see if maybe just one partner can be enough for her to handle. If this doesn't work maybe try telling her the benefits of learning teamwork or call a parent to explain the situation.

Comments: I really love the solution of having the teacher getting to know the student themself. It is so important for teachers to get to know their students in order to understand them on a both academic and emotional level because emotional and academic needs affect each other in the classroom. It is important to remember to not overstep any professional boundaries with the student as to not violate any rules.
