This article is pretty interesting. The author of this piece takes two different views, the first part takes the side that the schools need to be involved and take measures when a student is bullied. They point out what several different groups around the school should do and what measures need to be taken. I think that the schools should be involved, but what point do they become to involved and cause more problems is over my "paid grade." The second part of the article focused more on that fact that the parents of the bully need to show more love and caring-ness for their child.
With the influence of technology over the past few years and all of the 2.0 tools, I can see how it was be easy for students to pick up after school hours of bullying by using these tools. Facebook, IMs, Myspace and other places that students or children can easily access. I think the best approach to teach people is not to put information out there to draw attention to yourself. With many different types of thread-web-pages, you can post anonymously, and hide behind a false name. These are the place that students need to understand that they should never put down any private or public information, because these places are a hot-bed for this type of actively.
Its sad that this happens, but we need to make sure that these students know what the cause behind these people are. Its easy to delete the information (on most sites) but as long as the student that is getting bullied is able to stand up for themselves and others, the parents/teachers/school staff have done a great job raising a fine student.
