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 plan of action should be to have a conference with the parents and discuss what they would like to happen in order to resolve this situation.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree. The teacher definitely needs to involve the parents. And maybe a counselor as well.

If it were me, I would implement a zero tolerance on any type of bulling from day one.

The teacher should first try to see if it can be resolved at school. Inclusion of the teacher effects the inclusion of the students with each other. There are many anti bullying activities you can do with children to help stop bullying.

Parents all have different methods of punishment. Leaving this decision up to the parents is fine for what they want to do at home but not for what should be addressed in the school environment.

The school should just handle it and then let the parents know what is going to happen.

This is wrong! Contacting the parents of the bullied kid to ask what they want to happen is not going to resolve this situation. The bullies need to be held accountable by the school.

The child could want it handled differently than the parent.

Also, we do not know who specifically is doing this. Rated On: February 24, 2015 8:38 pm Rated By: araseS
