“Schools to Submit Anti-bullying Policies”
Officials in Michigan are working to submit anti-bullying
policies that are required by Wednesday in public school districts and charter
schools statewide.
Gov. Rick Snyder in December signed legislation giving
schools six months to put such policies into place. Many school districts
already had anti-bullying policies, but until the law passed, districts weren't
required to spell out what steps would be taken to deal with bullying and discourage
it.
The Detroit Free Press reports Monday that more than 400 of
the state's districts and charter schools have submitted policies to the
Michigan Department of Education. Hundreds more still must submit policies.
School boards in several communities meet early this week about the policies.
The law is known as "Matt's Safe School Law."
Common Sense Review
If you are a school system who hasn’t had an anti bullying
policy already in place before Gov. Snyder signing the bill in December, you lose
all taxpayer dollars. To the school
system, we bring our children to you for an education and yet you haven’t had a
child safety policy until the word “Bullying” has become a popular term that
needs our care now!
How can you stand as educators on the forefront when you
need to be told that you have to protect our children from those who wish them
harm. It is time to educate you:
Define:
Bullying – to affect by means of force or coercion
Terrorism – the systematic use of terror; especially as a
means of coercion.
Is it me? Should this be taught to those who teach our children?
