This approach is based on the theory that being nice to people brings out the best in them and is less punitive than some other solutions. Some students also seem to feel freer to report a bully if they know he or she won't be punished. Take a no-bullying course. Victims of bullies must learn how to stop being bullied. They must learn to be positive, to stand their ground, to maintain eye contact, and to surprise bullies by doing the unexpected.
Schools can offer such courses.
A strong sense of organization tends to permeate safe schools. Safe schools discipline students for disruptive behavior early and fairly. For students to feel safe, discipline needs to be fair, consistent, and clear. Rules and guidelines need to be clearly and repeatedly communicated to students and parents. Schools must challenge social norms that encourage violence.
