  Case: Bullies
What is the best way to deal with bullies in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Begin the year with a strict policy and lesson on bullying. Make clear to all students what bullying is and what will happen when you see it. Personally, if I ever see bullying in the classroom that doesn't subside with eye contact, I would contact the parents of both the bully and the victim and have them take it up with administration. There is only so much you can do as a teacher, even with bullies in your class. You just can't simply have them removed every time, or even with a 0 tolerance policy, it doesn't always work. Ask for parents help to make sure it stops.

Comments: i don't feel like the parents should be the one to take it up with the school right off the start. i feel like the teacher needs to take some responsibility for the bully that is happening in their room and try to help deal with the situation and only if they don't know how to go about helping then add guidance into the situation.

Comments: This is not something I would do. Going directly to the parents and making them deal with the situation may not be the best first step. Discuss it with the students first.

Comments: I don't think that having the parents resolve the matter directly with the administration is the best approach. It seems like the easy way out to me.
