“If he makes fun of you then he’s making fun of me too.”
Tori Nelson is a fourth-grade teacher at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington. Last week, she was getting ready to begin her class when she noticed one of her students, Matthew, was in tears outside.

Nelson explained that Matthew has a scar on the back of his head, so he had a bald spot. Another boy noticed it, and began to make fun of him.
Nelson tried to get Matthew to come inside, but he refused.
"I was kind of running out of options," she said.
Nelson had an idea. She told Matthew if he came inside, he could buzz her hair off at lunch. That way, she said, “if (the other boy) makes fun of you, then he's making fun of me too.”

Matthew agreed, and at lunch he buzzed Nelson's hair off to match his.
