Some of the reasons why some teachers model the aggressive behavior they experience at home, might be due to education levels and years of teaching experience. In some states, when teacher are tenure, they cannot or hardly be fired. Three articles (See Table 8) directly tested the assumption that education and/or experience were related to bullying behavior. Zerillo (2011) performed a two-part study to see how teacher education and experience affected the way teacher perceived bullying behavior. In the first part, teachers were asked to answer a survey about the teacher perception about peer-to-peer bullying and teacher to student bullying (quantitative data). On the second part, two focus groups were made to discuss the same issues (qualitative data).
The results from the quantitative data revealed that teachers with more teaching experience (11 years and up) thought that bullying such as teachers denial access to students and belittling them, was a more serious problem than those who had less teaching experience. Surprisingly, when comparing teacher and peer bullying, teachers bel...

    (Swearer et al., 2010) One area of concern is the frequency and severity of school bullying can vary greatly depending how one defines bullying and who is asked to report on bullying. Another area is the possibility that students, teachers, and staff differ substantially with their perceptions of school bullying causing a negative school climate and its occurrence in their school. In an article published by the National Association of School Psychologist (NASP) it states, “25% of teachers see nothing wrong with bullying or putdowns and consequently intervene in only 4% of bullying incidents” (Cohn & Canter, Ph.D., 2003). Furthermore, it states, “Over two-thirds of students believe that schools respond poorly to bullying, with a high percentage of students believing that adult help is infrequent and ineffective” (Cohn & Canter, Ph.D., 2003). Schools, specifically the teachers, staff, and administration are responsible for keeping our schools safe and play a critical role in establishing a positive school climate.

    Bullying has been a part of schooling for as long as children have been congregating. To some it seems like a natural, though uncomfortable, part of life and school experience, while to others it can mean terrifying experiences which spoiled and characterized otherwise happy years in school. Dan Olweus, a pioneer in bully behavior research documented that 2.7 million children are affected as victims, and that 2.1 children act as bullies (Fried, 1997, as cited in Aluedse, 2006). With bullying cited as the reason for violent, gun-related crime in the past few years, school districts as well as national governments have put anti-bullying policies in place. Bullying is a complicated phenomenon, involving more than one child demanding lunch money from a smaller child. It is a worldwide epidemic hitting schools everywhere.

    Bullying.. it has been around for who knows how long and it is becoming a big problem in the past couple of years. Professor Louise Arseneault, senior author, also from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's adds: "We need to move away from any perception that bullying is just an inevitable part of growing-up. Teachers, parents and policy-makers should be aware that what happens in the school playground can have long-term repercussions for children. Programmes to stop bullying are extremely important, but we also need to focus our efforts on early intervention to prevent potential problems persisting into adolescence and adulthood." I agree with this this statement 100% we need to stop looking at how this is all can be a learning process and they have to get through this. Bullying is becoming a world problem and needs to be put to a stop.

  • Bullying in Today’s Society

    910 Words  | 2 Pages

    Bullying is a growing concern in a society where status and exercising power over another human being are increasingly important in developing one’s social circles. Dan Olweus (Norwegian researcher and founder of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program) defines it as an “aggressive behaviour that is intentional and that involves an imbalance of power. Most often, it is repeated over time” (Violencepreventionworks.org). School victimization is an especially delicate matter that has only really been in the public eye for the past half century, as more and more researchers and psychologists pointed out its short- and long-term negative effects on targeted individuals. It has since been widely investigated and numerous programs have been developed in an effort to address and prevent the many forms of bullying that exist today. The negative effects of such an abusive behaviour are various and can greatly differ from individual to individual. However, there are three main consequences that can be associated with school bullying, which are: school avoidance, depression/anxiety and even suicidal attempts.

    While sexual harassment is generally considered to be aimed from a male to a female, both males and females are victims and perpetrators of this destructive act. For people who are not knowledgeable on the subject of school violence, they may be confused on where the line has been crossed and dangerous behavior begins, nevertheless, there is clear data on who is a bully, what behavior is characterized by a bully, who are victims of bullies, what sexual harassment is, and who is affected by sexual harassment. Many factors in a child’s life may lead him or her to have such emotional distress that they begin bullying other students at school. Social factors are usually the easiest aspect to identify that would cause a child to bully their classmates.

Over the years, bullying has been looked at as being so ordinary in schools that it is continuously overlooked as an emanate threat to students and has been lowered to a belief that bullying is a part of the developmental stage that most young children will experience then overcome (Allebeck, 2005, p. 129).
