  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!)
It seems like she is having a hard time with trust. There could be more problems going on at home and in her personal life that she is having trouble with and doesn't want to get made fun of, so its easier for her to just be alone. I would try to gain her trust slowly. You could work with her one and one and give her time to just talk things out if she opens up to you eventually. Find her interests and then see if another student shares those same interests and see if she will get along with them.

Comments: I think getting to know the student more and finding out their interests would be great so you can find another student who shares those interests, that way she won't be as isolated and can make friends based on similar interests.

Comments: I like this solution, it doesn't force the child to participate in an activity they are not comfortable with. Instead the educator is gradually building the trust up so that the child feel safe joining in with the others.

Comments: Making friends can be hard and I do agree that it can be a trust related issue. Maybe an activity twice a week that had her in a group of 2 or 3 students would be a good idea. Each group stays the same each week so she can get to know the students.
