I am for kids, ok! July 20, 2012 What did I do with the pennies? As I observed them, five different stories came to mind. So, I told my teammates that I would write about them. I prefer writing to talking, that is why I do not talk in groups. Story 1: When I was about 12 my dad made our phone inaccessible. My sister and I were very annoyed. He never said why then. Now I know that our family was being bullied. Story 2: When I mentioned what I was learning about bullying, my older brother shared how it was for him. He was also bullied. Story 3: My friend Samantha has also been bullied because of her commitment to learn, study, and do better in school. Our discussion had many examples, and as a teacher, I am not sure what I could do. I guess I would provide opportunities for kids to view maybe a video about how painful bullying can be. I also wonder what their parents do about this bullying. Is there a service for parents and kids to get help, or is the teacher responsible to do it? I kept my promise. Used all my pennies! |
Welcome to ED 202 As a part of the requirements for the class I have created a blog that you will contribute to on a regular basis, journaling your reflections as we work our way through the class. In addition, you will need to comment on the postings of the others in the class, providing them with feedback on their entries as they discuss their experiences related and their progression in the teaching profession. Be supportive and help each other grow professionally.

Hi Maria, I am shy too, I wouldn't want to give up my pennies either. Is there a penalty if you don't. How did it feel when everyone else had no pennies and you were the only one left?
ReplyDeleteAlso Maria, I'd like to know what you know about bullying. I have a student that bullies. I would I help her? Can you share what you know about bullying to me? It would really help. Thanks
ReplyDeleteJust in case you wanted to know Maria, I'm a really good looking guy from Venice.
