Case: Bullying There is one student in a couple of my classes who has ASD and is integrated into a general education classroom. She does not speak with other students, but takes a liking to the teachers. She has some physical habits that are slightly gross to watch, and the students will talk about it around her as well as the teachers will make fun of her too. Whenever I am around this student I have conversation with her and am very kind, but I feel as though she knows what everyone thinks about her. How do I address other adults and students talking about this student? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) That is so unfortunate that even adults are acting like children. I would talk to the adults and explain to them that they are in fact the adults and the children observe how they treat and talk about this child and they follow the lead and do the same. It is unacceptable for a teacher to make fun of a student, if you have that perspective of a student with a disability then you are in the wrong profession. A teacher should be compassionate and empathetic and be an example to their students, not a negative influence. I would instigate some kind of kindness procedure where students who are kind are rewarded and student who complete random acts of kindness to encourage thoughtful and selfless acts of service within the class and ideally school-wide. Speak with the administration as they should support something like the all the way. |
