>How would you crack down on it more? In Washington State they have made bullying illegal in schools, anybody who sees it or is a victim of it is to report it (I guess intimidation can be legislated?), teachers are supposed to act on it immediately by filling out a report for each incidence for all involved parties to the extent of interupting regular lessons to do so e.g., if it happens in class a teacher is *not* allowed to correct/deal with and continue with lesson, law essentially gives the bully exactly what he/she wants, attention, by making the teacher put everything on hold to fill out a form.
not a great way to spend time in the classroon IMHO. will William Wheatley wrote: >What can you do? The school can't do much to stop it, the school world is >different then the real world.
