there should be cameras and bully watchers in brick and morder school

Dear curious18, numbers seem to paint a picture as though this is not a real issue that can be resolved if more people would get involved. It's your assumption that 10% of the bully watchers would be right and 90% would miss like the teachers. This is not a fact.Yes I think the bully watchers would be right far more than the teacher because watching for bullying and intimidating actions are what they are hire to do, unlike the teacher, who is there to teach lessons. This number game does not speak to the pain that is endured by students that suffer sometimes to the point of suicide.Yes all the money and bully watchers it would take is worth saving one life. How much would you spend to save a child's life? Maybe you have never been bullied. Well I have and it would have been worth every penny to have had my bully's punished. The 90% example I used is based on people I've meet, friends and family members not just my experience. From my experience it was 100%. None of my bully's were ever stopped. Having a bully watcher at every scene and never miss a thing is not what I said. I said there would be 100% chance that a bully would be punished indicating when they got caught. Where there are no bully watchers your odds are slim to none 0% punsihment, but where there are people to watch, your odds of the whole situation even occurring is slim to none. Have you ever been bullied? When a bully, bullies someone, it is usually very obvious, right there in your face, even when its done secretively, its right there in your face. And anyone with half a brain that is watching knows right away what is going on. Yes although it sounds magically to you, bully watchers will be able to see what is going on almost every-time. Now just to bring another interesting point. The National Health and Human Services Dept. Director Katheryn Sybillius came out recently and said that this Administration found bullying to be a real problem and is preparing to take it on in all the public schools across the nation. Here are a few facts to support my claims and my point of view: -Bullying occurs in school playgrounds every 7 minutes and once every 25 minutes in class –(Pepler et al.,1997) * Research shows that bullying will stop when adults in authority and peers get involved .* -Bullies tend to be hyperactive, disruptive, impulsive and overactive -(Lowenstein, 1978), (Olweus, 1987) * -Bullying is reduced in a school if the principal is committed to reducing bullying. Strategies -(Charach et al., 1995) * -Bullying occurs when there is little supervision or when large groups of children engage in rough and tumble play or competitive sports . -(Murphy et al., 1983) * -Bullying is often hidden from teachers. Teachers' lack of awareness is evident in playground observations in which teachers intervened to stop only one in twenty-five (4%) of the bullying episodes (Craig and Pepler, 1997)* Victims often keep their problems a secret: They feel they should handle bullying themselves; they worry about the bully's revenge or other children's disapproval: and/or they think that adults can do little to help them. -(Garfalo et al., 1987) , (Olweus, 1991) * My source is bully.org. This just goes to prove actually teachers miss bullying 96% of the time and their is a real need for bully watchers. The victims really suffer and they need help now. Besides, the country is in need for jobs. Here is where the government really could create some jobs for our failing economy. It would be a win, win solution for so many. School is a place to learn how to become a productive member of society. With so many bullies getting away with what they do, it gives to reason why more bullying is done by adults on their jobs and in the work place than children in school. Bully watchers are a good place to stop the madness.
