Bullying

In today's society there are growing number of people that believe that fair is fair and that everyone should be treated the same. I think that discipline is an individualized plan. Principals and teachers must look at each and every situation as they would if they were facing some sort of disciplinary action. There are track records and files made on every student in our district, by documenting all referrals and making sure that they are readily available to teachers is the key. In a situation where two kids are fighting and one is accused of bullying, even though there is policy against fighting, the two should be disciplined accordingly. Both students should be disciplined, but each should have priors brought into the decision of what kind. It is not a bad thing for kids to defend themselves. Kids need to learn how to defend themselves even if it means facing some sort of discipline at school. Schools should make students aware of the intolerance of violence, but also how each one will have a file created on how much discipline they have had throughout their schooling and be disciplined accordingly.
