On Friday morning a darling little girl came in crying and all the kids tried to comfort her. An obnoxious little boy from another class had told her that her glasses made her look dorky and ugly. As a teacher how do you handle this? Do you go on and say don't worry about it? Do you write to the other child's teacher and tell the teacher that so and so did such and such?
Well this is what I did. I gave her words to say when someone does this again. First of all tell him/her in a loud voice that "well, that is only your opinion." Then say, "I think glasses make me look wise." I hope that he does it agian because she is ready now. No boy is going to make her cry with words or with actions.
