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!) I would first explain to the student that she could no longer do this and that you would like to know why she thinks she can do this, as you may not know what her home situation is, and ask why she does not want to eat with her friends at lunch, so that you may gain a deeper understanding on why she is doing this.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I see why you approach this with a more stern attitude, because it seems like the child is taking advantage, so I get why there response should be kind of on the offensive. Because you want to make sure the child isn't stepping over you, but it seems strange to come to a teacher for food. Maybe there can be a deeper reason why it is food specific.
