Rationale:
One of the most important rules I have for my classroom is the zero-tolerance policy for bullying. Bullying is extremely disrespectful, hurtful, and causes so much negative energy for the classroom. I expect my students to be always respectful and nothing less. I shut the behavior down at the very start to discuss it. No matter how small the incidence is, I take it extremely seriously and start it sooner rather than later. I would send an email home sooner in the process then some teachers because I believe that it’s a group effort, not just one made by the teacher. If it continues, it will become a meeting with guardians as well as the administration. My hope is that shutting it down early rather than when damage is done, it will create a positive environment in the classroom. Putting this in my classroom management will also allow students to feel comfortable in confiding in me knowing that I will act when bullying occurs.
