  Case: Integrated Bullying
There is a student in my internship class who has a SLD. He is integrated into a reading intervention class with other students with LD or EBD labels. I have had students ask why he needs so much help and why he is special, and talk poorly about him and the validity of his label. They do this in front of other students and ask the teacher these questions. How should the teacher or myself respond? How do we stop the conversation without embarrassing the student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a tricky situation. On the one hand, you do not want to give students ammunition, but you also cannot ignore the bullying that is occurring. Perhaps, you and the teacher should sit down and develop a plan to teach the students about different types of disabilities while explaining that some disabilities require more help than others. You also should express to your students that bullying is not tolerated. The key thing is to not single out any students due to a disability regardless of how minor or severe.

Comments: This is a great solution! I think it is important to spend the time to explain to the students what exactly is going on and that some need more help than others etc.

Comments: Education is always the way, one way or another. Being honest with students is also important. You don't have to call specific students out, or name students, but teaching the class a lesson on differing abilities I think would definitely help in some ways, even if it doesn't answer all of their questions.

Comments: Talking to the whole class about disabilities and allowing them to understand why some people may need extra help is a great way for students to understand each other.

Comments: if you state in class that bullying is not tolerated...other students may believe that somebody ratted on them and possibly bully even more.

Comments: I like that there is a suggestion to work with the teacher to create a lesson plan to educate the students. By teaching them about this topic, it might help them to understand that we are all people and less likely to attack/bully this student. Not singling out a specific student is also a good tip and one that a teacher needs to make sure they do not do, as this could create problems with the teacher/student in the future.
