Article Critique Overview
In the article "Joining Hands Against Bullying," by Richard Weissbourd and Stephanie Jones I learned a lot about the effects of everyday bullying and how it is becoming more of an epidemic everyday. These authors bring forth a plan in which teachers can address bullying in the classroom. By giving real life experiences and situations they show that this topic needs to be addressed in our schools systems. I personally think this was an
excellent article. All too often I think many people shrink away from the idea
of confronting ideas such as this one.The youth of the country
are suffering because we are failing to acknowledge bad behavior. It is
partially society’s fault due to the fact that when students come in from
different homes, different backgrounds, different personalities, there are
social differences. Doesn’t matter a person’s race, sexuality,
religion, or ethnicity we need to treat everyone as an equal. Education is
something that should bring people together not tare them apart.
