  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 by far a problem. This behavior has a root in the problem that the student is facing. I think you should call or email home and make sure they are eating properly and address it from that angle. You can also put your foot down with the student and tell them no more lunches but that you have classroom snacks that they can earn throughout each school day. I would not buy her food, as that can be viewed in a negative light.

Comments: This may be the best solution as it considers the child's potential misfortune outside of the school. Yet, it also sets a boundary and also provides an alternative stipulate that can help the student.
