Assignment 10
I believe if I was a school principal I would use a wide range of techniques to reduce bullying in my school. My ideas depend on the grade level of students. My father is a principal this year at a Elementary school. They use a reward system for a student of the month and a character word that fits that student. One girl and one boy for every month. I believe for smaller children I would use this type of approach. I would do something special for those kids that were on good behavior and would encourage others to join. I believe if bullying is not stopped in Elementary school it spirals out of control and then we later do not know how to stop it. If there were problems with bullying I would implement a policy where the child had to start a session with the counselor for at least a week. I belive this would help to see if there were other problems occurring at school or at home to help prevent it.

I like the idea of rewarding the good students and holding up the good behavior as ideal. I think it would work, especially with young kids, to help them aspire to do good instead of being bored and resorting to bullying.
I agree that the reward of good behavior for younger students is an effective idea. Also, it is very clever to suggest possible counseling sessions for bullies. This enables the child to talk out their problems, and identify possible underlying matters contributing to the students' violent behavior.
