Our school is on a military installation, thus our student population is 100% military affiliated. Our students are compromised of many ethnic backgrounds and some of our students are considered to live in poverty. Our students also move many times during their childhood, which can put them at risk for being bullied.
Many of the children also have deployed parents, which can cause anxiety and depression. These can translate into inappropriate coping mechanisms and cause them to treat others unkindly.
This is why the literature cart full of books about bullying is very important to have at our school with our vulnerable population so we can teach them and create better citizens. It can be utilized for many years to come and by all grade levels.
In addition, the nurse and the counselor will be able to utilize these materials and present classroom lessons. It will be beneficial for the students to realize that the whole staff is concerned and aware about this social issue.
