  4. of settings, one of which being a school, it is
  5. an educational issue as it harms the mental, physical and
  6. social well being of the victims.
  7. In schools, some Children may feel they are more superior
  8. than others and as a result, they abuse others in
  9. one way or another.
  10. Leading to bullying, bullying frequently entails repeated physical, verbal and
  11. social behaviors intended to harm other social, psychological and physical
  12. well being, William can affect the victim in many ways,
  13. whether it is immediate, medium term or long term.
  14. These effects include stress, pressure, anxiety, depression, and often leads
  15. them to isolate themselves from their peers.
  16. The victim may struggle to be from well in school
  17. because they become afraid, they may feel disconnected from school
  18. disliked school, Miss school be rejected by others disengaged socially
  19. in order to avoid conflict and in extreme circumstances commit
  20. suicide. Furthermore, Children feel afraid to report bullying as they
  21. feel like nothing can be done about it.
  22. They feel powerless or that if they speak up, the
  23. bully would escalate the situation.
  24. One out of every five students, according to Pacer's National
  25. bullying Prevention Center report being bullied evidently the policies put
  26. in place are not operating in a way which is
  27. benefiting students.
  28. Therefore, building is clearly a significant educational issue that must
  29. be addressed in order for students to feel safe at
  30. school and for a better educational environment.
  31. The name of the current policy based on bullying is
  32. called the bullying of students prevention and response.
  33. This policy is put in place by the new south
  34. Wales Department of Education Government to attempt to prevent and
  35. respond to bullying among students in schools.
  36. The following other policies outlined, all forms of bullying are
  37. unacceptable and rejected.
  38. Schools should create a learning environment that is inclusive, welcoming,
  39. supporting safe and respectful students must respect their peace, teachers,
  40. school staff and community members and they must not bully,
  41. harass, intimidate or discriminate against anybody in their schools.
  42. The establishment of a purchase and procedures that foster positive
  43. student behavior is essential in schools, teachers and staff members
  44. must receive support and professional development and finally, each public
  45. school is in New south Wales should have an anti
  46. bullying plan.
  47. Student bling has not been decreasing even with the range
  48. of different policies set in place, Victoria University states that
  49. 20% of young people experienced bullying and 17% are bullied
  50. every week in Australia.
  51. This conveys that bullying still has not significantly reduced.
  52. This is due to policies that might not have been
  53. properly implemented or if they were, these might be too
  54. generic to apply to individual cases, making it difficult to
  55. decide what is bullying and what is not in relation
  56. to Dimitri and circus article.
  57. They argue that anti bullying policies should include a series
  58. of specific strategies to reduce bullying by promoting awareness and
  59. ensuring a positive learning environment for Children.
  60. Therefore, policies surrounding bullying in schools are not operating in
  61. a way which is benefiting schools and Children as much.
  62. This issue is significant and requires immediate attention and redirection
  63. in order to establish a school culture where bullying is
  64. reduced and is not tolerated in order to provide safe
  65. and supportive learning as ethics are based on a person's
  66. values, thought process and subjective views on what's right and
  67. wrong. The policy enforced by the new south Wales Department
  68. of Education for short in addressing the ethical consequences of
  69. bullying. The act of bullying is unethical as it violates
  70. an individual's rights to respect and basic human decency, fostering
  71. the harmful environment which may enable an individual to indignity
  72. by another.
  73. Furthermore, the policy does not significantly influence human rights and
  74. citizenship culture in a way that allows all its adherents
  75. to understand their responsibility to treat others with respect as
  76. well as their right to be treated with respect according
  77. to hank I and aka, in order for students to
  78. feel safe in school settings, they need to be told
  79. policies that allow them to understand how to treat others
  80. and to know that there's school follows a zero tolerance
  81. approach against bullying.
  82. Former citizenship paste based point of view.
  83. The policy does not explicitly discuss one's values which must
  84. be ensured it lacks the citizenship centric approach, especially when
  85. considering the policy's failure to explicitly enforce democratic participation in
  86. all environments of education.
  87. Essentially, the policy may be viewed as a blanket policy
  88. which covers the basic aspects of what is considered right
  89. and wrong behavior but does not go the extra mile
  90. in ensuring notions of citizenship.
  91. Yeah, in summary, the policy must be adjusted to reflect
  92. the lack in both ethical and citizenship based considerations.
  93. Thus, fully ensuring an educational environment free of bullying.
  94. Alternative. New and different ways of addressing bullying include more
  95. educators are set on duty during recess and lunch times,
  96. especially in places bullying may most likely occurring, such as
  97. bathrooms. This strategy is beneficial as an increased presence of
  98. staff members will act as a deterrent.
  99. This is relevant to hank I and occurs articles as
  100. they believe that soon and monitoring is critical since students,
  101. since teachers can lessen the intensity of bullying problems in
  102. schools through supervision and intervention.
  103. The second approach includes educating parents about the signs of
  104. bullying, for example, according to Dmitry and Sasuke, there are
  105. several signs indicated of bullying that can be observed, including
  106. not wanting to go to school, changes in eating habits
  107. and etcetera.
  108. Additionally, there are also signs that students are bullying each
  109. other, such as getting into fights often and having new
  110. unexplained belongings instead of ignoring these signs, parents will be
  111. educated and informed about them and they can prevent bullying
  112. from occurring.
  113. The third approach includes creating classroom scenarios that focus on
  114. bullying and provide solutions that take into consideration the effects
  115. of bullying, students will learn a characteristics such as empathy
  116. and kindness, as well as the detrimental impacts of bullying
  117. and a variety of strategies for dealing with social situations.
  118. This offer students the opportunity to experience what it's like
  119. to be bullied and how it feels to be the
  120. victim by having them role play, both bullies and victims
  121. to increase awareness.
  122. The fourth approach includes soon it should be more involved
  123. in the decision making educators working together with students to
  124. develop strategies that benefit students the most should be mandatory
  125. so that teachers and students can work on reducing blin.
  126. For example, conducting a questionnaire for students to fill in
  127. based on the way they feel most comfortable reporting bullying.
  128. Finally, the last approach is establishing an ethics curriculum in
  129. pre service teacher programs which will help educators to address
  130. value centric education in schools and provide them with the
  131. tools to reflect on their own teaching practices.
  132. This will enable them to better manage bullying and respond
  133. to the needs of their students.
  134. Additionally, it allows them to be moral role models for
  135. their students by enhancing the quality of their teaching approach.
  136. Thank you
