» Jo Murphy - Yes This is very true

As a teacher I find it very difficult to catch, identify and keep track of incidents.
Books I read say that when all is impossible the teachers must work consistently with the students who are the victims.

It is all very sad,
Jo

Jo,
Our K-12 system began a written report of harassment. The target fills out an answer sheet asking when this happened, where it happened, who was involved, what was said or done, who else saw it, did you ask them to stop. I then interview the witnesses and the person doing the bullying. I then ask him/her how this can be resolved. The majority of the time, it just stops. I then tell the target to report to me immediately should it occur. There is something about having it on paper that really has an impact. A copy then goes to the principal and a copy in the children's file. Both the target and the "bully" because we want to keep track of patterns. While we thought we had bullying under control, this seems to be the icing on the cake. Our school is a pilot school for PBS, Posible Behavior Supports and this year we've implimented Steps to Respect by Committee for Children. However, this does not prevent bullying from going on the internet as soon as they get home.

I wasn't aware of how bullying takes on a different level when bullies feed into the computer screen. Wow.
