  Case: Bullying in the classroom
During my internship, I have noticed that one student in my 4th grade classroom is getting picked on regularly. My CT has addressed this with the class multiple times but the bullying still continues. I have also stepped in and explained to the student that their comments say more about them then they do about him. He has tried ignoring them, sticking up for himself etc., but these kids are relentless! The administration has been contacted and these specific students have received consequences for their comments but no change has availed. What steps should be taken now?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Is it the entire class bullying the one student or a few students? You can try separating the bully or bullies from the victim. If you can not, have a anti-bully presentation to the entire class and let the students know that your classroom is an anti-bully classroom and it will not be tolerated. Give them consequences if it occurs. If it continues and this one student still feels threatened, you can contact the parents and administrator about possibly moving the student to another classroom. This student may even want to move.

Comments: I like how you suggested relaying the info to the whole classroom. This prevents future bullying and allows everyone to hear just how serious it is.

Comments: I think this is an excellent solution. Having an anti-bully presentation is an excellent reinforcement of the effects of bullying. Perhaps it can show the bully's how much their words can truly hurt. I don't think it's fair to have the child moved for bullying, if anything the bully should be moved, if it's just one or possible to move multiple, unless the child is okay with moving classrooms and wants to do that for himself.
