[QUOTE="DDD, post: 603383, member: 35"] I will not watch it for a number of reasons. Mainly, because I have seen it and heard it and been shocked by it for close to fifty school years as a participatory parent. Truthfully that is the primary reason that I first became actively involved in the PTA and later the PTO. I knew in my heart that the only way I could possibly protect my children and hopefully other students was to be so familiar to school staff that I could freely observe the climate of the school and the faculty/staff. Most of the bullying was subtle but, of course, still harmful. This past year there is a television campaign that demonstrates bullying in the school hallways, bullying on the school bus and a third that doesn't come to mind right now. The ads all end with "does your child know what to do when they observe bullying? Teach them how to help." Then a website is shown that provides info. I haven't pulled up the site to see what is advised. I do hope this indicates that there is a true movement to stop bullying on a national level. on the other hand, a local newspaper ran a recent article about faculty/staff contributing to the problem. The example that really got me was a middle school male teacher who told one boy "I never believed in abortion until I met you." Good Grief! The whole issue just makes me sick. DDD [/QUOTE]
