  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!)
It may be possible that there is something in the cubby that the student is attached to. I am picturing a low income student with few possessions. Maybe this student could keep their personal items with them. If the class has tables, maybe give this student their own desk with space to keep personal belongings close. If there is one item that can be identified, maybe allow the student to keep that item with him or her.

Comments: While this could be the case, I do not think it should be assumed that the student is low income. Personal belongings should be kept in cubbies and not brought out unless asked because it can cause issues in the classroom.

Comments: I don't think there is enough information provided to assume low income. Also, it could cause some problems in the classroom if one child is along to hang onto an item while other are not. The item could also be distracting.
