rate log of every one should be kept.
Students should also pay particular
atttention to the sound of the caller’s
voice and any background noise.
If a student receives the message
by telephone, he or she should not
bang down the receiver, converse, or
reason with the caller because this
can encourage more harassment. Tell
the caller ‘please do not call me
again’ and hang up.
