Dr. Tracey C. Burns is a Project Leader at the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, Directorate for Education and Skills in Paris (@OECD_Edu). She is considered a global expert on the subject of bullying. She notes “there is a huge amount of political attention being paid to the issue” and she summarizes this serious global problem as follows:
- In terms of prevalence, the bottom line is that it appears that traditional forms of bullying are remaining steady in terms of frequency while cyber bullying is increasing, although it is still not as common as face to face bullying.
- Bullies, motivated to enhance their status among their peers, bully in front of witnesses, whose approval (or at least tacit silence) è fondamentale. They tend to choose their victims from those who sit in the bottom line of the social ledger, those least able to fight back. And it works, both to raise the popularity of the bully and to hurt the victim.
- There are several commonly accepted myths about the causes of bullying for which there is no supporting evidence. These include claims that bullying stems from large class or school sizes, competition for grades, or other school life pressures. Another common assumption is that bullies suffer from poor self-esteem and insecurity.
Cosa si può fare? Abbiamo chiesto la nostra Top 12 Global Teacher Bloggers to share their answers to this question: Quali sono diversi modi reali che avete visto bullismo ridotto?
Riferito da Top 12 Global Blogger Todd Finley (finleyt), James Alan Sturtevant (jamessturtevant), Social Studies teacher at Big Walnut High School in Sunbury, Ohio and Author of You’ve Gotta Connect, makes the bold recommendation that reaching out to bullies can sometimes be as important as punishment. In his words, “Harsh consequences don’t always work, can make bullies worse, and sometimes evoke retribution for unfortunate victims.” Reaching out does not mean excusing but remaining in stealth dialogue to foster potential positive influence.

Pauline Hawkins (PaulineDHawkins), autore di Nucleo comune: 25 Modi per aiutare il vostro bambino riesce in un Cookie Cutter Sistema educativo, says the only way to reduce bullying is to be a good role model in your treatment of others, as a parent or teacher.
