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!) Definitely put your foot down because it is not your job to sit and feed a student especially when lunch breaks are meant to be breaks. I would ask the student why they want to specifically sit with you and come up with a solution with them and make sure they understand that lunch time is you time                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Good reasoning. Lunch time is precious to teachers and it is their food.

It is not the teachers responsibility to feed her students. That is why lunch is available. Talking with and politely asking the student to stop doing this might help as well.

Personally, lunch time is the teacher's lunchtime and break too so I would'nt have let that happened. Also if other students arent in my classroom having lunch and its just one students I wouldnt have let that student come in during lunch time. On top of the fact that the student is asking the teacher to walk her to the restraunt and by them food is a No No. The teacher should've been put her foot down. Also I would let someone know at and write it down as documentation just in case for future troubles with the student.
