Case: Class Bully
Mr. McDaniel has a student who has gotten in trouble several times for bullying other kids in the classroom. Several parents have contacted him to complain about this particular child bullying their child. The student has already been suspended twice this year for bullying, and his parents have not been able to correct the situation from home. The counselor has also been involved and the child has been placed in a group to try and figure out why he is bullying. What can Mr. McDaniel do to help the situation in the classroom and to reduce the amount of bullying that is taking place.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Keeping down time to a minimum giving the child less opportunity to bully would be a start. Not allowing the student to be alone with other students during bathroom breaks and other activities may also help. Character education with social stories and other resources could be implemented. Administration needs to be involved. |

Comments: There may be a bigger issue underlying the bullying. He may be seeking attention because he does not receive it elsewhere. Isolating him may not be the best idea. Not saying it's good to keep him around other students he is harming, but you also don't want to make the problem worse! |

Comments: While keeping downtime to a minimum is a good idea, it doesn't mean that the rest of the time will be free of bullying. The student may be bullying continuously including whole group time, so giving them less breaks won't make a difference. Also, it's not fair to decrease the amount of free time the other students have just because of one student. |
