  Case: Reliant student
I work with a student every day during math class and assist him with his practice problems. Typically, we will do one problem together then he will try to do the problem on his own. Recently, he will understand how to do the problem with my assistance but when he starts doing it on his own he says he doesn't know how to do then asks me for help. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have had this problem before, and I have been told that if they fully understand the content but ask for you anyway, they either want attention or need a "body double" to be next to them to complete it. Either way, this could be solved by pairing this student with another who is a high achiever and having them sit next to each other. Don't ask them to talk to help each other, just be close by. This might fulfill the student's need for a body double, or give them the attention that they need.

Comments: This is a great suggestion. pairing the student up with another would free the teacher up and greet the need the student requires attended to. Peer mediation is better for the student anyway.
