  Case: Cubby Buddy
A student in your class will not leave their cubby. When prompted to leave the cubby a tantrum is thrown and disrupts the whole class. The teacher is unaware on how to stop or address this situation. The students complete work in their cubby but will not sit in a regular desk. How can the teacher meet the needs of the student without appearing to have ineffective classroom management?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should talk to the parents to see if there are any underlying issues that can be addressed. If the student is completing their work, I would allow them to work there short-term, but eventually the student needs to be comfortable at the desk without throwing a tantrum. The teacher could try to get the student to explain what they like about the cubby and maybe elements of the cubby could move to their desk area. Maybe the student could personalize their desk to be more comfortable. The emotions and feelings of students shouldn't be disregarded. They are usually behaving in a certain way for a good reason and need help to form healthier behaviors.
