From Reuters, a new national poll from C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital finds that parents don’t think that schools are doing a good job addressing the issue of bullying.
“What this poll shows is that parents are still very concerned about bullying in their schools. about three-quarters of states nationwide have implemented bullying prevention laws that are designed to encourage, and in some cases force schools to present and deliver bullying prevention curriculum to
students,” says Davis, who is also an associate professor of public policy at the U-M Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. “But based on these findings, it doesn’t appear that those curricula or programs are working effectively.”
