The supposed "Zero Tollerance" rules inposed in american schools have don't nothing to help the situation and actully perpetuate it. <br /><br />In our disctric (school), and many others, when a report is made both parties are suspended for a day so that the staff has time to investigate. This gives the child who is seeking a reprieve an unjust punishment (as suspended days do not allow for work to be made up) and give the child seeking superiority a chace to skeem and seek friends to make it harder to stop. It actually perpetuates the situation instead of providing a remedy. <br /><br />I belive first we must find a way to tap into the homes. Parents who teach that it is correct in any situation to belittle or demean another to gain control, are teaching their children this is correct action. I'm not saying that you can't reprimand you child or tell them they made a poor choice, but to use parental dominace in conjunction with phrases such as "you're stupid" " you'll never ammount to anything" ect. teaches any child in that environment that is correct for the siutation. <br /><br />On the flip side, many adults are trying desparatly to break the violent cycles that they grew up in and are helping to creat a society in which true competition and excellence are no longer rewarded, but demeaned as "over acheiving" or "attention seeking". Not everyone can play baseball, so not every child should make the team. <br /><br />It seems that we as a global community are hitting a period of extreams. No longer doesn one have to PROVE themselves in accidemics, sports, or even job performance, mostly out of fear of hurt feelings or discriminatioin of racial/religious creed. <br /><br />Bullys are simply the teen hormonal reply to a much needed sence to prove oneself worthy in a world where the adults are removing much of need to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
