  Case: The R Word
I also think that getting to the bottom of why they are "taken" to these students and education in the forms of differences, compassion, and kindness are valuable and mandatory in the classroom. I would absolutely get the parents in on the situation immediately parents can't help if they don't know what is going on. Also, try some group bonding and classroom activities where students work together.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would start with a brief lesson that teaches how everybody is different, but that is o.k. and what makes us all unique. (There are even fun/cute games and crafts to do this). I would also instate a consequence for every time that the students use the "R" word. The first time, verbal warning, second time consequence (loss of daily points, silent lunch, etc) and the third time the students will receive a phone call home to the parents. I am a firm believer in rewards also, so every time the students use a kind adjective to describe this one student, I would give them some sort of reward (snack, marbles, fake money, whatever system you already use within the classroom).

Comments: I think that using the proverbial carrot and stick in this situation is not helpful to the student being bullied, nor is it helping alleviate the issue in the classroom. There are clear expectations about bullying students, and those need to be enforced. Also, I question the effectiveness of the lesson taught about everyone being different, and whether or not it singles out the student in question or helps his or her peers to treat them differently, especially as this is a small minority of students engaging in this kind of bullying.

Comments: I agree with the consequences of the bad behavior but I would not reward students for treating each other nicely. They need to do so without an incentive.

Comments: I would never do this, I do not think that students should be rewarded for treating another student as an equal or as a human being. I believe they should be taught to treat everyone with respect and anything less is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in class or the school.

Comments: I don;t think the teacher should reinforce differences between children and children shouldn't have to be rewarded for saying nice things to others it should be expected in my opinion.
