Case: Peanut Allergy
A little boy, let's call him Jeremy, is highly allergic to peanuts. The students in his class know this and the classroom door even has a sign on it that says "no peanut zone." It seems that there have been some issues at lunch with students threatening Jeremy with peanut butter--all playful, but saying things like "look, Jeremy, PEANUT BUTTER!!!" and holding it inches from his face. Is simply talking to the students at fault enough? Should other actions be taken?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
For these students that are teasing him, I would have them spend a lunch period or two eating in a room by themselves. I would then explain to them that this isolation is what this other student feels because of your teasing about a medical condition he can't help. I would then inform them that if the teasing continues this will be their new lunch location. |

| Comments: Although I agree that action needs to be taken, giving the student new lunchroom accommodations may not solve the problem. Not only will this not allow the student to understand the real implications of his/her actions, but new lunch accommodations are often used as a positive reinforcement. I understand the student will be eating alone, but they may get the wrong impression. |

| Comments: I feel that simply punishing and isolating the students, though it may stop the teasing, will not teach them the lesson that they need to learn. The student's need to understand that their actions are not only rude, but could be dangerous for Jeremy. The students need to be educated on what a food allergy is and just what happens to the body when exposed to something it is allergic to. I believe that giving students this information would stop their behavior because they would have the knowledge to know better than to do that, versus just isolating them, which may stop their behavior for a period of time, but only out of fear of being punished again. |
