  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 seems very sweet because she seems like she confines in you and that she feels comfortable with you. But you need your lunch break as well. I would let her know that you would be happy to walk with her to the cafeteria this one time to get her comfortable there, but students have to eat lunch at the cafeteria with their friends. But Also let her know if she needs anything she can always talk to you.
