  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!)
Express to your students that your classroom is an anti-bullying zone and all students should be respected. Maybe pull the bullies aside and try to understand why they are bullying someone. Maybe there is something going on in their home lives. Talk to their parents. If it persists, the bullies or victim may need to be moved to another class.
