  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!)
The student may have trust issues, be shy or may even be bullied by other students. I would watch her interactions with her other peers and call her parents to discuss the issue. Try a community building activity such as a field trip, which brings the class closer together. It may be best to first start with pairing her up with one person on a simple activity and explaining to her the benefits of collaborative work. Hopefully she will warm up to the idea of working in a group.

Comments: Observing the student and building trust with her and you alone first is a great place to start
Then finding interests in common could definitely work

Comments: Bullying is an interesting take on the topic. I did not think about how they may be treating her outside of the classroom.
