Reaction to "Bullied"
Today I watched the movie Bullied. As a teacher I wish to help and protect my students, and make sure school is a safe and fun environment for them. The today movie really got to me because I don't understand how some people can have so much hate towards other people when they are doing nothing wrong to them. The fact that kids like Jamie everywhere have to suffer like that really makes me want to become the best teacher/person I can be. School should be a place that you shouldn't have to fear going to, and the fact that it is 5 days a week, 9 months of the year, can really take a toll on these kids and really get to breaking points for them. In Jamies case, running away, and trying to OD. I want to have a good enough relationship with my students where I don't want them to be afraid to come and talk to me for whatever reason it may be.

Dane,
ReplyDeleteYou have posted some great reflections to class discussions and news articles. There are a few posts that are missing. I enjoyed reading through your work. You found some great articles! I suggest reading "Stones into Schools" as a great book to follow up on your article on education in Pakistan.
