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!) I would like to say you could call this student by a nickname they do not like, but the best course of action is discussing how nicknames do not always make us feel happy. Explain annoying nicknames to him, and hope that he will change his ways. After the discussion, when he tries to nickname someone, give him the stink eye.                 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: Come up with a nickname they wouldn't like? Or let them come up with it. Rated On: October 16, 2016 12:47 am Rated By: maPyqa
