Bullies - an update

A guest post by TikunOlam

About a month ago I wrote a post on bullies . Just wanted to offer an update. Since meeting with the school principal and guidance counselor at my children's school, there has been an increased effort and focus on creating a bully free environment. They have been utilizing the "Midah of the month" program, disseminating more information to the parents, holding administrative meetings with parents of bullies requiring parental and sometimes professional intervention and having small group activities for all the students led by the guidance counselor. I wanted to let you know about this guy, who apparently was a great hit with the students during a recent school assembly, in case any of you would like to pass along his information to a school which might also benefit from this or a similar program.

Shabbat Shalom.
