  Case: Bullies in the room
A parent comes in after school and states that their child is being continually bullied in class. They state that "You wouldn't know because is happens when you back in turned." They state "It is always happening and the child is too scared to come to school."
Work through your course of action to deal with this parent.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first make it a point to reach out to the student, in private, and let them know that you are available to discuss classroom behavior and instances/interactions with other students that make them feel hurt, uncomfortable, and bullied. It would also be worthwhile to invite the school counselor into your classroom for observation, as well as share a bullying module to ensure your class is aware of what it means, how to deal with it, report it, etc. Also, given the parent made contact with you, the accusations should also be reported to the counselor, who will likely open an investigation and follow through on school procedures.

Comments: I like this solution because it doesn't embarrass the child, but notifies them that you will be keeping an eye out and that if it happens when you don't see the child will feel more comfortable to confront you.

Comments: I agree that it is important to let the student know that you are available whenever to talk about anything and to not feel uncomfortable about talking to you about being bullied. I feel that at this point in time it would be a great idea like you said to have a lesson on bullying to help students when it comes to reporting it and what it actually means. It is also important to keep an eye on things in the classroom and to keep the parent updated. If it were to continue I would go to the counselor and have them help from there.

Comments: I think this is a great solution. Involving the school counselor is a must, as they can investigate these issues further and educate students on the repercussions and consequences of bullying. Reaching out to the student in private is also important, so the student knows they can feel comfortable coming to you to report bullying and discuss their feelings. Establishing this open communication with the student is essential.
