Case: Boy, don't you ever shower?
It is obvious from the first day of class that one of the students has bad body odor. By the end of the third week, you start to realize that the student as Steve. The other students in the class are going to greater and greater lengths to avoid sitting next to him. They mime choking when he sits in the seat in front of them. Any reference to odor or smell in the classroom is met with snickering. Finally, one day after Steve comes in late and sits next to a student in the front row, he turns to Steve and says, "Boy, don't you ever shower?" The class breaks up in hysterics. When should I have intervened? How?, What should I say to student? What should I say to others? Should I confront the class with Steve present?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is inappropriate for the class to be laughing at Steve. The teacher should remind the students of this. The teacher should speak with Steve privately after class and discuss personal hygiene, maybe refer him to the school nurse. The teacher also needs to talk to the boy in the front row who made that comment, because bullying should not be tolerated in a classroom. |
