Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Carla, While this is a sad moment of real-life teaching. You really should not be giving the students money for lunch or anything else. Just because this could be viewed as a code of ethics violation in the state of Florida. I think that you could have some snacks for the students on the bookshelf in your classroom just in case a student has this problem or goes hungry or hasn't eaten. I do not advise giving the student money in the school and especially giving money openly where someone could see that. Remember that students could see this as an advantage point with you and then lean on you when they need money. Do not let them take advantage of you.
