  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!)
I would try to understand the issue and also incorporate it into his instruction somehow. I would not make a huge discipline deal out of the cubbies because this will likely create an even bigger problem. We can not always go to disciplining over an unwanted behavior. We need to sit back and look at the big picture, there is a reason why he behaves this way, we just need to figure out why.
