Parent: "I've come away from work early to deal with this problem. You wouldn't know because this happens during playtime and there is never a teacher on duty. It is always happening, the school does nothing about it and the child is too scared to come to school." Continue this scenario to resolve the issue. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would inform the parent that playground time is always supervised and bullying will not be tolerated. I would encourage the parent to speak with their child about coming to the teacher when there is a problem. Let them know that they can do this privately to avoid any embarrassment. Students must be encouraged to advocate for themselves and to feel safe doing so.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree. It's good to let the parent know that the problem will be taken care of and that bullying is not tolerated, but also to make sure she knows that we are competent teachers.
