Name-calling is rife in many schools, but is often dismissed as simply "banter", according to a new Ofsted report into bullying.

This article explains how bullying is still an issue in schools and has became worse over the years. It goes on to tell that many schools now have anti-bullying policie but this article shows that these are only as good as the staff's ability to carry them out. Teachers need to be strict on their antibullying policies for the students to live without having to fear going to school.

Great point about the importance of staff commitment to anti-bullying strategies. It baffles me how a teacher could stand by while bullying occurs without some intervention--but apparently, that is often the case. How can we expect young children to learn the principles of civilized social conduct if adults in the room do not themselves feel outrage when a child is bullied? Again, how do you see this article relating to slander?

Yes, parents can help the situations sometimes, but a lot of parents don't look at their kids messages. Parents can look at their phone and I think it is a good idea parents do look at their kids phone.
