All I hear is how they are "not going to tolerate bullying", but I seldom hear any concrete steps as to who they are going to do that. I also hear a lot of focus on teachers and administrators identifying the bullies and the victims and stopping it whenever they see it. Guess what, adults are not going to see 90% of it. These kids are not stupid. They do it in mean subtle ways, in the hallways, in the bathrooms, when the teacher is looking the other way..... <br /><br />Every single one of these kids KNOWS that it's wrong to bully, but the bullies still exist. Why? Because this school has NOT taught them that the innocent bystanders who do nothing are just as guilty as the ones doing the bullying. It's up to the kids witnessing it to simply make a comment "Boy ____, that was really mean. You didn't have to do that". Empowering the KIDS to do something about the bullying will go a LONG waymtokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847975146825220291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5107212651485894168.post-80000655024752487552011-01-11T13:42:27.041-05:002011-01-11T13:42:27.041-05:00I have had this conversation with my girls more ti...I have had this conversation with my girls more times than I can count. The biggest problem my girls face is feeling like a tattle-tale. Making sure they know the difference between telling on someone just to get them in trouble (tattle-tale) and telling because it could keep someone safe, is a big thing! This is a hard thing for some to kids to understand. <br />These horrible situations are a wake-up call to EVERYONE who comes in contact with kids on a daily basis. <br />As a parent my #1 focus in my children. Not my job, or classes, or even church. I have a job to provide for my children. I have classes to learn more to pass on knowledge to my children. I go to church to learn and worship to live by example for my children. Our job is to be parents and not let the school or anyone else do our job.<br />That being said, The teacher (school) is with my child as much as I am. The regularly see extra curricular teachers outside of school weekly. Knowing what is going on in our country we have an obligation to keep our eyes open. Ok that was more a soap box talk than a comment!
