How do you stop a bully?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’ve been getting a lot more calls from parents worried about bullying at their kids’ schools. They say their child is getting picked on and the teacher and principal won’t do anything about it.
Bullying has always existed. Schools already have discipline codes and rules to fight this problem, but many people say it isn’t enough.
Some legislators support a bill that would require school systems to develop additional policies against bullies and give immunity to those who report them. Taking a different approach, more than 100 DeKalb schools pledged their campuses are “No Place for Hate” and promised to reject bullying.
These different approaches are noble, but will they work? How can schools realistically stop bullying?
