When they come to our school our message to these students, over and over again, both in preventative ways, discursive ways, ehh, social engagement, corrective ways and preventative ways, when we have to apply consequences, our message to these students is this, and to their parents, our message is this, we don’t have to defend it, we have to live it, in our school that’s our message.

And that’s why we won’t tolerate bullying and when I’ve worked with bullies and parents of bullies, at some significant, a significant part of the message that we convey is this, in our school, because we have no control over the precursors, and pre conditions to bullying that often occur in the laboratory of the home.
