  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!)
I agree that this is a tricky situation. You can sit down with the teacher, but if you do not have time for that, you can say things such as, it is okay if someone needs extra help in the classroom. There is nothing wrong with that.
Telling the students that they shouldn't make fun of other students in the room, because it is mean and hurtful and mention that they wouldn't want to make fun of.

Comments: I don't feel this solution is very helpful because it doesn't teach the students about the disability that they don't understand. It also calls attention and can embarrass the students with the disability.
