Cyberbullying

3 Cyber bullying  As a teacher, if James comes to me with his problem, I will ask him if we may inform his parents to get the situation exposed. I will push for his parents to know because I do not wish to be liable for the situation. Second, since the harassers are using an email source other than the school’s email server, then by law I must report it to the authorities. If the harassers were using the school’s email system, then I would have to report it to the principle. By giving the information to the law enforcement, they can hack into the email server and delete and block the email account. With James’s compliance to informing his parents, I would recommend the cyber bulling web sites so that we all can be educated on how to prevent this from happening again in the future. Furthermore, I would address the RUA (Responsible Use Agreement) that all teachers and students must sign at the beginning of each year because the harassers broke this law and must be held accountable for it. Cyber bullying is a dangerous engagement. By using examples in the classroom and teaching about it, hopefully children will learn to protect themselves better or relent from doing the bullying in the first place.
