Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Discipline: Educators---->Documentation, Documentation, DocumentationThe dad who was arrested once police viewed a video of him egging on a fight between his son and another boy---including instructions to "punch his eyes out" and slam his head against the concrete---has now bonded out of jail and publicly defended his actions. His defense boils down to a claim that his son had been bullied by the other boy for months and nobody had done anything about it. This and so many cases...including one that will follow in my next post...should further put educators on notice about how important it is to follow up on all complaints of bullying (AND carefully document their efforts), lest the blame for tragic actions be laid at their feet. In case you haven't seen this latest outrage, I've embedded the video below. Posted at 7:02 PM Keywords: Discipline , Fighting , Documentation , Bullying 0 Comments |
