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!) I have a similar situation in a 5th grade class. The student who is bullied often has bad hygiene and lives in circumstances beyond her control that only contribute to the issue. I think that students need a lesson in how not everyone's life is the same. Not everyone is afforded the same privileges. They also need to understand to have compassion and tolerance their peers. I think in a community where there are less privileged students, especially in a title one school. Maybe we as teachers need to implement more teachings on diversity and not just diversity about cultures but diversity of the under and more privileged as well. There has to be a way for students to have more compassion and tolerance for one another.
