Everyone knows what a bully is because everyone experienced it one day, as a victim, as a persecutor, as a witness. A bully is a person that is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people. Bullies torment a victim over a long period of time, increasing the victim’s sense of fear and distress. Bullying can be physical, verbal or emotional. This kind of behavior isn’t new: all parents and grand-parents can recall bullying accidents from their school years. It doesn’t occur in one special place either: in every school of the world bullies oppress their classmates.
What parents generally don’t realize is that the stereotypical bully of generation past, i.e. a swaggering schoolyard lout, without self-esteem and very easy to identify, has now became obsolete. Indeed, society has brought changes even in this very particular part of life. Bullying has evolved. A lot. In fact, current bullies are completely different than before. Perpetrators are attractive, athletic, academically accomplished and very aware of what they can do or not. That is why bullying became more and more subtle over the past few years. In order to be discrete, it has to change form and, if need be, to change place.
That is how Netbullying appeared. The democratization of Internet naturally led to new forms of communication but also new habits. It is more and more present among other demonstration of bullies at school and violence in general. Furthermore, this is a practice that takes place far more than you realize on Internet. Few kids have gotten away without knowing someone who has been netbullied, netbullied someone else or been the victim of netbullying themselves.
Students benefit from more freedom on the Internet without the supervision of teachers or school employees. It may include instant messaging, cell phones, interactive games, text-messaging, websites, profiles, blog, discussion boards, guestbooks and provocative postings and websites targeting the other with humiliations. There are thousands of ways to humiliate someone on the Internet, and the worse part is that these bullies are now permanent. Sometimes the bullying takes place through the use of a website where the victims are ridiculed by being voted the ugliest, fattest or sluttiest student in the school. Sometimes cell phone cameras are also used to take pictures of the victim in a locker room or dressing room or in an otherwise compromising situation.
So how can we prevent cyber bullying? Mainly by keeping in mind that there are consequences (lose your ISP or IM accounts) and Teaching the others to respect everyone and to take a stand against bullying of all kinds. Respect isn’t it one of the main value school is trying to teach?
The Charleston County High School students who just wanted of taking classes that been offered in nearby school but not at their own will soon be able of doing so. It’s been plan that high school learners will be allowed of taking career courses at their neighboring school during day time starting this season. Although, learners would still remain be enrolled into their respective home schools. So, there will be no changes of attendance zones or even requiring approval of these constituent school boards. This plan become part of Superintendent Nancy McGinley’s for their broader initiative towards providing learners even more selection and of ensuring equity just across their school district. She’s also divided this county into four geographic zones and each area will be offering similar selection from their respective high school career courses to various kinds of schools that includes this Montessori or as these arts infused. According to Associate Superintendent Lou Martin that in this perfect world every high school would entirely be offering majors and classes but will not be entirely financially feasible or considered as practical especially in terms upon finding the necessity of instructors who will be overseeing the high schools. This will be considered as prime access and equity strategy as to couple together this financial common sense.
Martin had already been meeting with these district high school principals, for their guidance directors and even identifying their career courses that could entirely be eligible for an exchange program. Next step will entirely support schools as to find learners being interested of their respective classes and even start addressing their mere challenges in regards to logistics upon coordinating their school schedules and even arranging its transportation. Transportation considered as one major cost that been needed and didn’t even know how much this could be. Some state money will now be available upon supporting of covering their expenses. As of now, they are going to start in small matter and expansion. Since, it supports of opening avenues that it didn’t entirely exist at before. These zones got no mere effect for their county wider magnet schools. Although, Martin entirely hoping that these schools will now be taking part of exchange program in the near future. This North Zone entirely encompasses this North Charleston that includes East Zone schools from Mount Pleasant as to McClenllanville; Southwest Zone entirely consists as this Hollywood, this James Island, the Johns Island, and this Central Zone been created to its downtown and this West Ashley.
Although, its been considered as first time that this kind of exchange program will entirely be happening in every neighborhood high school and some high schools will be creating some arrangements for learners upon taking on their respective courses. The West Ashley High considered as among those schools that will entirely embracing on some concepts especially that their learners will be taking on their classes inn Garret Academy and this School of Arts learners will even be participating in West Ashley High JROTC education program. In this season, the West Ashley High will now be exchanging learners with this Burke High due of the mere fact that both of them are already in Central Zone. This West Ashley High Guidance Director who is Peter Bruce stated that his entirely hoping that this exchange learners will now able of enrolling this range career courses from this Advance Placement program for their career electives and both schools will now be mapping out their classes that they got that some other doesn’t have and their officials will now be planning of allowing learners of determining in regards to career opportunities especially on the field that there are quite interested and even working it out on their respective schedules and to its transportations.
