The twins would sometimes act out together and make fun of other students, I have reached out to the parents and they continue to bully other students. I have written them up numerously and it does no good, what else is there to do to keep the siblings out of trouble? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would have a teacher/ parent conference including the school counselor or caseworker to find out why twins are acting out and bullying other children. If necessary, I would also explain to the parents that the school has a "no bullying" policy which her twins may be separated in different areas of the school where they can't be together. Also they will suffer consequences such as detention, suspension or possible expulsion.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I would never threaten to separate the twins, they should be able to behave good even when they are together.

It allows both the teacher and parents to find out the source of the problem instead of trying to stop the behavior itself.

By threatening to separate the twins at the conference could cause the parents to become defensive and the remainder of the meeting would not be effective.

Reminding the students and their family of the strict no-bullying policy will also reinforce the severity of their actions and the increasingly severe consequences that may follow if changes are not made.

And fixing it.
