I believe that bullying should be a shared responsibility between schools and parents since a child time is divided between school and home . The best answer i can give though is to avoid the and report always to school staff.

NO, I believe this law is unconstitutional because it controls free speech. I believe Parents need to teach their children not the schools. Westwood schools should concentrate on the fundamentals and stop taking the parents role.

Freakette--you have a valid argument. The problem is that bullying isn't always one-on-one. More often than not, it is a mass effort. Your suggestion is unrealistic--to have one kid fight off 20 for the sake of self-sufficiency.

Absolutely. I agree with most of the people who say that it needs to be consistent, and that the staff needs to be held accountable. Kids need to learn resiliency also, but not at the 2nd or 3rd grade level.

Yes-as long as they are enforced thru out the school district. Need to make staff accountable also if they fail to take action on a complaint.

NO. I think kids should be taught to fight back, not constantly seek help for everything. Adults are out of their mind, putting so many different people in one tiny space and thinking everyone will get along.

While they may make a difference, parents can best monitor cyberbullying-specific instances by having a solid understanding of what their kids are doing online on social networking sites like Facebook.

NO! Why make a LAW for this? Each school district needs to create strict policies. Inviting the law into this is inviting disaster.

Yes as long as the laws are consistent and firm enough to get the message across that hey we are not going to accept this type of behavior

Absolutely. Anything that will help reduce this problem is a good thing. It may not be the only solution, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
