Cyberbullying

The most import thing an educator can do when dealing with bullying in general is having an open door policy and display emotional support for all students, this way students will know they can depend on their teacher. A zero tolerance for bullying should be the standard in every classroom. Having this standard will set a clear expectation for all students. Initially I would conduct a sit down meeting with James and discuss everything that was going on, and use this to gather what information I could from him. Next I would conduct a thorough investigation with all the evidence. Once I collected the information I would inform the principal and if determined by them, the police would be notified. The next step would be to compile a list of every student involved and call them into the principals to be interviewed one at a time. Once I had all the facts straight and all the people involved, I would call all of their parents to inform them of the situation. I would get in touch with Yahoo.com and let them know the situation and see if they would shut the email account being used down. The punishment for the students would be determined by the principal, but I would do what I could to inform the faculty and student body of the seriousness of bullying and cyber bullying. A zero tolerance for bullying should be implemented as the standard for all schools, this way there is a clear standard for all students to follow. It is also very important to teach the students about cyber bullying and what could be considered cyber bullying. This should be done twice a year if time allows. A school should be a safe place for students to learn and grow.
