Case: Lunch in teacher's room
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 until 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!)
This is a tough one. On one hand, I would be worried about the student's situation at home. Do their parents not have enough money for food? Do they give the student lunch money? It may be a good idea to get with the students' other teachers and see if they've noticed any other odd behavior. It would be a little obvious to the student if you just put your foot down and said "no". That could also lead to a bigger issue or a mental breakdown. Also, if it is occurring everyday and it doesn't break the bank, it could be possible to pack her an extra peanut butter and jelly and send the student on their way to the cafeteria with it. It may just be a case of motherly love or lackthereof. Also, what grade is this? |

| Comments: I was thinking the same thing, if the teacher puts her foot down (which I think she should) what if the student has some type of mental breakdown or react in an negative way. |

| Comments: Most schools have free lunch now. I do not think it is appropriate to start making one student lunches because other students may see it as favoritism. I would also reach out to the parent if the problem is them not having food. Schools have food for students to take home for families that do not have enough money to provide food for them. |

| Comments: I do not agree with this solution, it should not be the teachers responsibility to feed another student. The student should talk to her parents and have them figure out a solution to her not liking the cafeteria food. |
