This was a disruption as I had to stop talking to the students wether as a class or individually to see what the student needed. What solution do you suggest for this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would talk to the student and say she can always show me this type of thing before the lesson or even after the classroom- we have to pay attention to all of our students, especially when it is for something that she doesn't need help on. However, we shouldn't assume she doesn't need help with it- maybe she needs a reminder to help her solve it. At some point, you could instruct the class that some assignments are for individual work- and that you can't always be there to help with it. This can give an incentive to her without directly addressing her.
