During the beginning of the week I e-mail 2 professors to keep in contact with. With no success I e-mail two other professors again during the middle of the week. Again on Friday I still had no luck and I e-mail two more. With no one returning my e-mails I just decided to do the alternate assignment. I lessened to the radio on BOOM NOW, where they were talking about bulling and what parents as well as teachers can do about bulling. First they talked about what parents can do as well as what to look for. They talked about if you think your child is being bullied you might want to look for signs like there child not wanting to go to school, or be in any activates after school. They talked about how you should talk to their teacher and see if they have noticed anything, if they did what they thought or did about it. They also talked about how you should talk to the teacher about the problem and if the teacher is unwilling to help or do anything then go to the principle. If that doesn’t work than to go to the school board, if all else fails that you should seek legal action because your child safety is that important. On the other hand they talk about being the teacher and how to deal with a bully or someone being bullied in your classroom. First and for most, the parents need to be involved in this situation. It is their child and they need to handle this problem as well at home. You want to talk to the parent as this is a group effort between all of you that it’s going to be a group effort. Also if their child is the one bulling other children, you should talk to the parent with facts that you have, this way no one is thinking that you are just picking on the child. I also looked at the website http://www.nccp.org/ which talks about poverty. I ended up reading an article on their called National Center for Children in Poverty this was about poverty in the United States and how there are more and more children in poverty than ever before. “One child in five lives in poverty in the United States and almost half of all children live in low-income families, with incomes less than twice the poverty threshold” (National Center for Children in Poverty). The talk that it’s not because the parents aren’t working because in most cases there at least one parent who work full time all year round, they state that it’s so expensive to live and people are only making minim wage. It also expresses children parents who have gone to collage are less likely to live in poverty.
