  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!)
I personally do not tolerate bullying. I would talk to the parent, and ask what they suggest. Can you separate this child during group time? Also talk to the parent about finding things that interest this student. Often students with aggression do not have enough stimulation. Try using small but interesting activities to capture this student. Also find ways to alter this behavior, for every mean thing the student says have them come up with something positive to say to someone.
