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 tough. I think you need to first understand the reason why the student wants to eat lunch with you every day or asks you for your food or for you to buy her food. Then I thin, based on that information, you need to find help for that student, such as applying for free lunch or from a social worker, and then set boundaries.
