The good and the bad, The glad and the sad, Some is your own, some came from Mom and Dad. The more you learn the more you earn, The right to choose, the right to discern, How to treat others with the utmost respect, How to fill your cup and get what you expect. What’s one thing that is important about YOU?

- No definition of bullying is going to be the “end-all” definition. Bullying is such a grey issue that defining it is difficult. What is required are solid ideas about what constitutes a bullying situation, and a skill set that we can provide to children. Why Zero-Tolerance Policies Don’t Work Zero-tolerance policies are used by many schools, and are even supported by many parents. They are ultimately ineffective because they are based on a simplistic model of bullying, rather than the complex truth. Consider: Two students are horse-playing in the hallway, and admit that’s what they’re doing. All physical contact is handled the same way so they are punished for behavior that’s normal and appropriate for their age and maturity level. The two youngsters may not even understand the intent of the discipline. Two friends are in a one-time argument and call each other names. All name-calling is handled the same way so the friends are punished even when the argument is over before the school gets involved. There’s a chance the friends won’t even know why they are being punished. Authority figures may come to be seen as ridiculous. A child in grade 2 hugs another student and gives her a kiss. He is suspended for inappropriate touching. Zero tolerance does not consider a child’s developmental stage or other considerations around the incident. Once punishment is decided on, school administrators have to justify it. If they can’t – which can happen when a zero-tolerance policy is applied – they are forced to choose between backing off from the punishment and widespread disgust with it. Either way, their authority is undermined. They may be seen as irrational, or they may be labeled as bullies themselves. This is disastrous. Children do understand fair punishment. When they are unfairly punished, they lose respect for administration, and conflict can also be created with their parents.
