today’s world cyber bullying has turned
out to be one of the biggest ways to intimidate
and scare other students. It is easy because

that person in face. One big problem with cyber

prove it. That is why our team put together our
on-line reporting system. Here your students can
copy and paste right into our program any forms
of cyber bullying so you can deal with this

Program helps city kids learn to be good sports
Conflict-resolution plan seen as factor in lowering suspensions By
Lynn Anderson, Sun Reporter, May 3, 2006.
A foul ball brought an intense playground game between Travis Robinson
and Evelyn Sagastume, pupils at Medfield Heights Elementary School in
Baltimore, to a sudden halt. The incident last week could have resulted
in a fight, but Travis, 10, and Evelyn, 9, channeled their emotions into
a simple game -- paper, rock, scissors. Travis' "paper" lost to Evelyn's
"scissors," and the dispute was settled. There were no tantrums,
injuries or visits to the principal's office.. |

Comprehensive Planning for Bullying Prevention in the School
The
Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative is a discretionary grant
program supported by the U.S. Departments of Education, Health and
Health Services, and Justice, which provides students, schools, and
communities with federal funding to implement an enhanced,
coordinated, comprehensive plan of activities, programs, and
services that focus on promoting healthy childhood development and
preventing violence and alcohol and other drug abuse. Preventing
bullying to ensure students feel safe at school is one of the goals
of the Federal SS/HS grant program. Not only does bullying hinder
the learning of students in school, but it also can lead to
additional problems down the road. Olweus and his research team
found that children and youths who bully have an increased chance of
committing crimes as adults, while youngsters who are bullied are
more likely to run into emotional and academic problems later in
life. This site provides information on school programs that address
the problem of bullying and creating an environment where bullying
is not tolerated. (U.S. Government)..... |
