I feel like I am riding on the too late train. Like, oh how I would have loved this about 10 - 15 years ago. My thought is in our education of our children. Firstly I would love and acknowledgement, and contract agreement of our expectations from education. Of importance in my head is to achieve for each child, confidence, pride, trust, respect, imagination, kindness. These children should know things about their classmates and families, learning healthy social attitudes. Where else is the place for this? These young children in the early years, need more teaching in self confidence and social skills than in the 3 R's.
So, I guess from a single parennt's view, (without the privilege) from small town in the Okanagan Valley, BC, it could only be a positive step towards stopping bullying.
