  Case: Name Calling
I have a student that insists on making up nicknames for every student in the class. The names are not necessarily bad but a lot of the students don't like them and it makes them upset, what is the best way to handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try talking to the student about showing respect for their classmates. Explain that one way to show respect is to call them by their real name, and only use a nickname if it is something that they have asked to be called.
