Scope of this board?

by David

Jun 2, 2011

So, is this chatboard for bullying in general or for cyberbullying in particular?

This chatboard is for bullying in general - but cyber-bullying is certainly relevant. Hope this helps....

country hicks Is this a permanent board, or just here for June? I think it's a great idea to have this, as bullying is so prevalent in the school culture these days. I for one will be checking and posting on a regular basis.

Thanks, Bob.

Bullying

by Janine

Jun 2, 2011

Bullying seems to be starting earlier and earlier. I had a couple of 2nd graders try to extort money from my ESE student last week.I couldn't believe that this was 2 of my quieter students who were trying to take advantage of a naive student. Thankfully the parents brought it to our attention and we addressed it quickly.

MaryB............ an odd one One of my 6th gr ESL students is still 11 yrs old, 6' tall, gentle giant compared to the other shorter Hispanic boys. All Spring he was bullied by shorter boys in the halls. Actually it was them egging him on to start problems. He ended up shoving one of the troublemakers, who hit his head on drinking fountain and was out cold. Rushed to hospital, ...See More

anger management sessions

by D. Taggart

Jun 2, 2011

At my school we have an anger management team that meets with students who have been identified as "bullies". They do an excellent job at getting to the root of the behavior to help the child identify what makes them want to bully others. While not all children who are counseled by the team stop their negative behavior, it has helped many more exhi...See More

Bullying or not ?

by Teresa

Jun 2, 2011

I consider bullying to be when one student or a group of students constantly pick on a particular student. This can range from name-calling to giving them a look and a gesture in class. Our discipline administrators have determined that this is not bullying and we are not to write a child up as bullying other students--the VP of discipline will det...See More

"In this study, there is a connection between how often kids self-report being the target or victims of aggression and how often they visit the school nurse over the course of the year,"

Introducing at too young of an age

by AJ

Jun 2, 2011

I teach Kindergarten and when we first introduced Bullying all I heard were accounts of "being bullied." It is a very hard concept to teach to younger ones. I hear first graders also accusing others of bullying. We need to make them aware but when do they really understand the concept?

Kathy/WA Teaching kids to respect others can start even at age 3. As soon > as you start teaching "be nice," you're beginning to lay the > foundation for stopping kids from becoming bullies.

I think you have the key here--teaching the positive values at the early age prevents or lessens the negatives later on.

I remember the drama in...See More

Becki1st Another factor that should be considered is some children are more "worldly" at an earlier age than others due to their personal experiences and home life. If a child is being bullied by someone else, they can "learn", pick-up, begin that behavior in an effort to gain some control over some area of their lives. I agree that we need to teach childre...See More

bullying aimed at teacher(s)

by TeacherMom

Jun 2, 2011

Have you experienced bullying aimed at teacher by her/his students? It is accelerated when fellow teachers make comments like, "What do you think, you are in room XXX?" "This will work in room XXX, not in my classroom." and so on.

If you see a teacher being bullied, don't just walk away, help him/her with becoming a better classroom manag...See More

teachmo I think this boils down to "it takes a village". This not only applies to our students but also to our colleagues. It's not only the professional thing to do, but also the moral thing to do when you help a struggling colleague out. Helping them to become a better teacher and classroom manager will also help you too!

I agree because bullying is a problem in the classroom and it is a subject that needs to be discussed with every class. I would like some suggestions of books to read with my third graders to get them to talk about bullying.
