    What is bullying? 
     
    There are 3 types of bullying: 
    1) social bullying-excluding victims from activities or spreading rumors
    2) verbal bullying-threatening, taunting, or teasing another
    3) physical bullying-kicking, hitting, punching, or choking
     
    Research shows that over 50% of all children will be bullied at some point during their school years.  This MUST stop.
     
    My classroom is a no bullying zone. 
    I have zero tolerance for bullying. 
     
    I take every bullying issue seriously and will deal with it immediately and to the highest degree possible.  Please talk to your children about bullying.  Bullying is not a 'kids being kids' issue and it's not something that every child must 'go through' to survive childhood.  Bullying is a serious issue that must be stopped and the only way that can happen is if everyone works together.

    *Start a 'Pass it on' tradition with your child and do nice things for others so they can 'pass it on'.
