Cyber bullying Conference-
Thoughts and rants…
TANGENT: Choice. I.S. – Independent study. Creating a period at least once a week for student to do independent study of Choice.
Microsoft- Do something! Really that is what you are bringing?
Cyber bullying seems to be too narrow a topic! This is about personal responsibility and how we treat others. This seems to be one issue that religious schools do seem to have an advantage (not that I agree) but the have the dogma of their religion, like the Ten Commandments, that allows them to teach a framework.
How do we educate moral citizenry? Reflective questions do not seem to help intervene…
Who doesn’t bully? Why?
Students that are busy and interacting in things or with people that are passionate don’t bully.
Bullying comes from boredom and fear. Or the need for a resource, like money, food, or belonging.
Maybe a way to chapter the book would be problems? Or does that give into those problems rather than lead to the solutions. Gangs, teen pregnancy, bullying & Sports teams lesson.
Students (young people) are smart enough to see injustice and hypocrisy. Trust our young people. Teach them to see though the crap and believe in themselves. Critical thinking skills.
Why is there the perception that consistent and fair discipline is what students needed? Is there data to support this?
