“The problem was compounded by the good kids who were afraid to speak up, so your suggestion number one speaks to that – how to empower the good kids to be part of the solution.”
This is what the OLWEUS program is all about
This bullying piece is timely-there is a documentary coming out soon called “Bully.” Obviously it focuses on students being bullied and highlights the major missteps of administration and teachers in dealing with the problem. I’ve never thought of teachers being bullied. The article above sent by Carol is just awful. I guess I don’t think of teachers as “bully-able” because the have the power supposedly.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a parent now of two small children, but I especially notice rudeness in my students, and I end up correctly them like I do my own children. I restate to them how I’d like to hear what they just said. Too passive for some, but they do repeat what I say and at least they get an example of what to say more politely. If there’s major disrespect in my room, I end up talking to the student one on one after class or after school. I also think of Susie Gross and her idea of the “love bank”-I have to deposit a certain amount in the love bank before I call out a student on something. But in instances of total disrespect, I don’t yell (like I might have before) but rather pull the student out of class and give them some time alone in the hallway-another Susie move.
Annemarie, I am remembering a book that Susie referenced in her discipline workshop. I think it’s “Teaching with Love and Logic”.
About twelve years ago I was hanging out one afternoon with Susie in her classroom in Colorado Springs. Some kid did or said something that I couldn’t see bc I was sitting right behind him. Susie stopped everything, walked over, leaned right in, a few inches from the kids’ face, whispered something for about ten seconds, and returned to the lesson. Problem solved.
I must know what she whispered. I will ask her on Saturday
Chris, Classic Susie!
