Two boys are terrorizing one of your students. These boys are larger, stronger, and older than the boy in your class, who is small for his age and shy. Unfortunately, the bullies are fairly popular, in part because they are successful athletes. There are incidents on the bus before and after school, in the gym, in the games, and at lunch—including intimidation, extortion of lunch money, tripping, shoving, and verbal taunts. Your student has started to miss school routinely, and when he is in class, the quality of his work is declining. i. How would you handle this situation? ii. Who should be involved? iii. What would you do about the verbal homophobic insults? iv. What would you do if the bullies were in your classes? v. What would you do if the bullies and victim were girls?
