Cyberbullying

The first thing that I would do in dealing with this situation is to contact the principal and the liaison officer to help me deal with the situation. I then would call all the students parents that were involved and tell them of the situation. We would need to find a way to deal with those male students that have cyberbullyed James, and to come up with a suitable punishment to deal with this problem. I would believe a suitable punishment would include suspension for several days, community service around the school, or some other kind of justified punishment. The first thing that I would have these boys do is to close down the e-mail accounts that were used in sending messages to James. The next thing that I would have the boys do is to sign a contract stating that they will never do this again. If they did the contract would lay out punishments for this type of behavior which I would hope would include more suspension time, any termination of computer privileges. I would also have their parents sign the contract with the boys making sure that the parents were also involved in stopping this behavior. When the situation with the boys had been resolved the next part would be to reeducate my classes about cyber bullying. I would want to take part of my class time and go over the rules of the Internet, and to remind my students that this kind of behavior would not be tolerated. If I had found out that there were many students involved in cyber bullying James I would want to take it upon myself to have all of my students sign a contract, including their parents, to help stop this type of behavior and make sure it never happened again.

This assignment was to give awareness towed cyber bullying.

I thought that this assignment was enlightening and interesting. I nerve thought that bullying could also include emails and developing an email then send people things that embraced them.

This assignment was for us to realize that there is cyber bullying, and that teachers must be aware of this, and deal with it appropriately.
