Attorney General looking into bullying complaints against Wellesley coaches
terry clarke's insight:
What? A coach bully his players on a girls sports team he/she coaches for their school? Ask any school administrator responding to such an allegation, and he will repeat the same mantra those in similar settings chant: "Not at my school. Not on my watch." I have heard this mantra from coaches, athletic director employees, superintendents even after a civil rights group filed Federal Complaints with the appropriate Federal agencies! If nothing else, these administrators are consistent in chanting their mantras.

Teaching empathy is better than other ways to prevent bullying, says researchers. Children are less likely to bully others if they are empathetic.
Children are less likely to pick on their peers if they know the extent that the damage they have done, can go to. Experts also back up this prevailing wisdom. But kids are not born empathetic. They are susceptible to impulses. Trying to tame bullies by teaching them empathy is one of the most effective ways to prevent bullying. But experts also suggest that teaching empathy may have the opposite effect on children. Is Empathy the Solution to Bullying?

School Violence & Bullying--->Cannot and will not end without a culture change in a school with the strong support of administrators (who are not beholden to those "good old boys" who "got them their jobs") and who truly want positive change (and who do not simply state they believe in the value of tolerance and diversity because a Federal or State agency tells them to use the currently in-fashion psychobabble)!

Bullying culture cannot be ignored
terry clarke's insight:
Although my daughter has had first-hand experiencing with high school basketball teammates, forcing us to transfer schools (where she is thriving athletically, socially and academically), it is sad to read about teammate on teammate bullying in school sports , while coaches and athletic directors turn a blind eye. Of course teammate on teammate bullying isn't limited to academic settings. Richie Incognito regularly and horrifyingly terrorized Miami Dolphins teammate and fellow lineman Jonathan Martin while upper management (and coaches) turned a blind eye. Is there no end in sight for these cruel acts of torture or had humanity simply lost its moral compass?

terry clarke's insight:
Thankfully media darlings are revealing just how pervasive bullying is now and has always been. Hopefully, their revelations will cause school administrators to (1) Admit that their schools are not made of gold, do in fact have unsightly blemishes and bullying DOES OCCUR IN THEIR SCHOOLS, and (2) Once they come around to speaking the truth, rather than denying the obvious, they will implement EFFECTIVE anti-bullying programs that comply with all Federal and state legal and regulatory requirements (including strict standards on anti-retaliation prohibitions).

Humility makes sense. Socrates knew that he was ignorant, and therefor was ready to learn. If I think that I already know a thing, or do not need to know a thing, then my mind is closed to it. All learning starts from a point of ignorance, and then move to greater approximations of understanding until mastery.

Absolutely! Most are unable to do so, unwilling to learn .. Being ignorant is fine, but lack of humility won't ever help

My heart goes out to the parents of this young man who took his life because of bullying suffered at his school--with allegations that school administrators took no substantive action to address the harm, an attitude that I believe to be pervasive among school administrators in this area. [I, too, brought to the attention of school personnel at my daughter's school (located in the same region as the school named in the article) serious issues of ethnic and racial harassment, as well as retaliation for EVEN RAISING the issues to school personal, with the same non-response described in the article. Thankfully, a civil rights group from NYC, who was blown off just as our family was after contacting the school board and superintendent, stood firm regarding the mistreatment of our daughter and successfully engaged the U.S. Department of Education and our State's Commission on Human Rights to formally address our allegations--investigations which remain on-going.
Hopefully, the media reports of these clusters of cases in which adults who knew better turned a blind eye will finally bring some accountability back to where it belongs, and the shenanigans of the good old boy network will come to an end.
