The Bully in Me
Posted: 17 May 2010, 21:42
First off, let me say that bullying is sadly very much a part of public schools. Do I try to correct it as a teacher? Absolutely. But I don't see everything. Our school has made it our mission to find positive books on bullying. Something in which they can read about other's plights as well as dealing with the issue. This also helps us open the doors to discussion. So far, we've found one that has a positive message as well as targets an older student population (high school). It's called the Bully in ME by MG Villesca. It has discussion questions, worksheets, and resources on their webpage. The author even wrote me back when I asked about it's research base. Very informative.
I would like to hear what books you've read that may do the same. Please let me know if you've read anything that would target the same audience and has a positive message.
