+Warwagon MVC Posted April 16, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted April 16, 2014 Lincoln, Neb. Lincoln Public Schools issued a statement apologizing to parents of 5th graders at Zeman Elementary for a flyer that was sent home on how to handle bullying situations. LPS posted the following statement on it's Facebook page which said quote: "A flyer that contained inaccurate information regarding how to handle bullying situations was sent home with Zeman Elementary School fifth-graders. Here are parts of the letter from the Zeman principal sent to families this afternoon to apologize and offer accurate information about how to handle situations." "Our educators at Zeman Elementary School work hard to provide accurate and appropriate lessons and education for our students in how to handle bullying situations. The flyer was sent home with good intentions, unfortunately, it contained advice that did not accurately reflect LPS best practices regarding response to bullying incidents." "We encourage all students and parents to continue to communicate with our staff if you have any questions or concerns about bullying situations." We apologize for any problems or confusion this has caused for students and families." We have added a link to our webpage where you will find ?The Facts About Bullying,? which contains our best advice for parents. 10/11 has a link to that webpage on the right side of your screen. http://www.1011now.com/home/headlines/LPS-Apologizes-for-Inaccurate-Bullying-Flyer-Sent-Home-with-Students-255548001.html?device=phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+John Teacake MVC Posted April 17, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 17, 2014 Rule 2 has got to be a joke right? Bully : "Your fat ugly and smelly" Bully : "Oh I'm just trying to help you to not be such a loser" Victim : "Thanks man, I appreciate the help" ........ :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajua Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Rule 2: WTF? How can a child think a bully is trying to help him? Rule 6: Just turn the other cheek? WTF? Rule 7: Not telling. Really? How can a child that gets bullied get help without talking to teachers or parents? Rules 8 is a good one and 9 seems reasonable but how can a child think of sarcastic answers to insults like an adult? They are trying to aid on this matter but their approach/message is waaay wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted April 17, 2014 Veteran Share Posted April 17, 2014 Rule 7 stinks of "We don't have time to deal with it, so please don't tell us". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesmithg Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I am sure it was an Australian high up in the education system that a few years ago quoted, ''bullying builds character''. It doesn't it caused people to take their own lives. All I know is, anyone tries and bullies me they get a smack in the face and a boot in the groin. A bully in my school (when I attended 1974-1985) at my secondary tried it on me, because I was tall and a challenge, he ended up on the floor. Funny he stopped being a bully after that. Only way to deal with a bully is giving them a smack! Stokkolm 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compl3x Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It seems schools have no real interest in dealing with bullies. Not only do bullies ignore staff, bullies usually have parents who are bullies and abuse the staff when they are called in to discuss their child's behaviour.
