  Case: Bullies
What is the best way to deal with bullies in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Check first with the district and/or school policy for bullying and take those actions in the event of bullying. Establish with the class on the first day of school that bullying has serious consequences and be firm in giving those consequences any time bullying happens. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but, often times, those who bully have experienced bullying or some form of abuse in their past. If you have a repeat offender, it can help to chat one-on-one with this student and reach out to them. They may need the help of a school counselor to attend to their issues.

Comments: I think approaching this on the very first day is a great idea. I too would express on the very first day that there will be zero tolerance for bullying, and there will be serious consequences if it does happen. Usually doing this on the first day avoids the problem.

Comments: I agree. Great solution. Usually zero tolerance is the policy so be firm but also nurturing to the bully as well as the victim is so important.
