  Case: COVID-19 Problems
With the era of COVID-19 happening, I have had students in my internship make jokes about the coronavirus. If one student coughs or sneezes, a few of the other students starts poking fun at the student saying that they have the virus and to stay away from that person. What do you do in a situation that involves a serious sickness like this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think in this case, it is the responsibility of either you or your CT to educate students about the coronavirus, as it is just as new to students as it is to us preservice and in-service teachers. They need to understand not only how serious COVID-19 is, but also how disruptive it is to the learning environment to poke fun at students in this way. I would also suggest going over some netiquette and anti-bullying policies. You could possibly do an activity for either or both of these tasks.
