Hi Mary!

This is a tough one! How do we teach someone to be sensitive to another person's challenges? Some things that come to mind - some of which I don't think would be appropriate in the classroom - but. . .

1. Discuss the situation if the student who stutters is willing - this could be very tricky.

2. Assign classmates as partners - rotating frequently - this should provide a better understanding.

3. Discuss patients, understanding and tolerance.

4. Do an activity on diversity.

None of these would be easy and could backfire. No easy answer.

Anyone who is posting - please share ideas that you may have.

Have you discussed with colleagues, school counselor or student services?

Sorry Mary, I know this isn't much help. Please keep trying to address the situation.
