Blog Post 12
In Brian Earley's blog I learned some shocking statistics. Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year. Mr. Earley also stated in his blog that bullying is the leading causing death in children under 14. BULLYING IS SERIOUS, and with technology/social media becoming more depended on in schools it is critical that teachers know the signs of bullying. Here are some steps found in Mr. Earley's blog to help prevent bullying: 1. Be a good example of kindness and leadership, 2.LEARN THE SIGNS, 3. Create anti-bullying habits early, 4.Talk with and LISTEN to your students, and 5. Pay attention!!!
Reading this blog was eye opening! I knew bullying was serious, but not this serious. As teachers we play a key role in students lives, and it is very important to notice things like this. I would like to see all educators come together, "think2change", and put an end to bullying!

  1. I am also going into Special Ed and I love this idea for a blog post. I keep hearing about students being bullied and how much it affects them. All teachers need to be able to watch out for students and be aware of their actions. Nice Post!
