Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         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!) You could propose enforcing consequences for bullying in the classroom with the teacher. Find out what motivates the students (computer time, fun class roles, preferential seating, etc.) and take those privileges away as these forms of bullying occur. Even one outward comment of bullying should be enforced with the strongest consequences to eliminate this behavior once and for all.                 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 not do this. With this situation the students need to know why this behavior is not allowed. Just by giving them a consequence will not explain to the students why this is wrong.
