Solution

Once in my classroom, some students were making fun of a boy because of his regional accent. I did not like this and told those students that people from different regions have different languages, cultures and lifestyles. We should appreciate and celebrate this diversity and try to be more tolerant and cooperative. It is necessary to respect everyone, irrespective of their region and language.
