Bullying in the News (Again)

In case you've been living under a rock lately, bullying has been in the media quite often.  There is another report today via Mlive that a West Branch Ogemaw Heights students has dropped out of school after facing bullying.  She claims the bullying came from her friends after she announced she was gay.  (Click here for the story)  The issue, as it surrounds education, is what can teachers and administrators do about it?  With so much "cyber-bullying" today, are teachers and administrators rendered useless to helping out?  What can a school do?

    Hey,
    We have been talking BIG TIME about bullying at our school! We even invited a speaker to our school to develop rubrics and talk to the kids about Aggression Prevention. Her name is Marcia McEvoy and she is coming back to our school tomorrow for a follow up. I am interested to see what the kids remember from last year, but also to see how they do with the bullying and good bystander effects!
