  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!)
While I believe this is a great time to teach students that everyone is different, in this particular situation I do not believe there should even be time for this to be discussed. If other students have the time and attention to focus on this other student, I think it is clear that these students need more work or transitions between activities need to be smoother and more focused.

Comments: Putting the blame on the teacher doesn't help fix this problem. Kids are going to be curious and model behavior that they see from others. Acting like they can't ask questions of discuss things, make it a taboo thing, which it isn't and could create even more of a divide with the students, that would have a lasting affect for all involved.
