The teacher has gained information on this situation and wants to handle it as delicately and effectively as possible. What should be her first plan of action? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The first thing I would suggest the teacher do. Is address the class in general on bullying and making fun students. I would not mention any indicators about appearances or being overweight. I will also inform the students of repercussions that will occur if the problem persists, possibly going as far as having them sign an anti-bullying statement with the punishments for bullying another student. This way students are aware of the repercussions and can not say they were not aware.
