Answer to Question 1

A teacher should definitely not ignore such teasing, as Tom's English teacher appears to do. Instead, teasing that is clearly hurtful to another student should be actively discouraged. Following are examples of possible strategies:
 Establish and enforce firm rules for acceptable classroom behavior. Such rules should include prohibitions against statements that belittle or are in other ways hurtful to fellow students.
 Take the guilty students aside and speak with them about the effects their thoughtless remarks are having
