Stopping Bullies Starts with NICE
Massachusetts’ recent passage of anti-bullying laws is the latest development in the continuing efforts to curb bullying in our nation’s schools. While the new statutes mark an important step forward, an Op-Ed in today’s New York Times explains that in order to truly conquer bullying, schools and parents must first lead by example to foster a culture of NICE and harness its power to effect substantive change.
As Susan Engel and Marlene Sandstrom write:
Children need to know that adults consider kindness and collaboration to be every bit as important as algebra and reading. In groups and one-on-one sessions, students and teachers should be having conversations about relationships every day. And, as obvious as it might sound, teachers can’t just preach kindness; they need to actually be nice to one another and to their students.
