Bully Prevention Webcast This Afternoon
Submitted by Boys and Schools Blog
I apologize for the last minute-ness of this, but in my defense, I only found out myself this morning. Anyway, the National Drop-Out Prevention Center/Network is having a webcast on addresssing bullying in schools today. The webcast is this afternoon (Tuesday, May 27) from 3:30pm to 4:30pm est, and be accessed by clicking here. (The program is free and doesn’t require registration. There is also a format for asking live questions during the webcast.)
The reason that I bring your attention to this is that many people are unaware of the degree that bullying can influence boys’ motivation to stay in and excell at school. In truth, all of our efforts at making classrooms more boy-friendly are for naught if boys are afraid to even go to school. And it definitely is worth noting that boys tend to be victims of bullies more often than girls. Moreover, it is only now that researchers are beginning to pay more attention to the phenomenon of female bullies and how their different methods of bullying can affect the social environment at school.
