bullying

I love social media, I do. Like anything it can be such a great way to keep in touch with the many people in your life that, with today's busy lives it would be so hard to stay in touch with. With any technology though, it does come with it's darker side.

This is a pretty novel idea, but it could get a little complicated.  If your kid bullies, should YOU be fined?

Laura Fernee a 33 year old English woman says, she is just too pretty to work. it would seem that people in the workplace are just too shallow and can not seem to except her for her merits and intelligence and all they see is how beautiful she is. According to an article on Mail Online, she said, "I’m not lazy and I’m no bimbo. The truth is my good looks have caused massive problems for me wh

Her name is Faith Perry.  She is an alternative education teacher at Mohonasen school. If this story doesn't make you think twice about dissing today's teachers, nothing will.

I met a group of fantastic kids who wouldn't even THINK of bullying another.  That's a relief, because there is so much of it going around these days.  I asked if they wanted to write a quick "Don't Be A Bully" jingle, and they were "all about it".  Welcome to another stop on the Reading, Writing, and Rhyming Tour

It's rare when I actually get a chance to drive to another state, which is technically what I did recently.  Lee Elementary School in Lee, Massachusetts was where I ended up last week, and I'm dying to go back.  What a teacher! What a class!

There are a few things in life I really , really hate. Not many, but a few. One of those things is bullying. I know that there is a new campaign through out the country to fight bullying and make kids understand the need to respect each other and our differences. You don't always get to see that that message is getting through though, so I wanted to share this story.

October 19 is Spirit Day! A day to wear purple to make a stand against bullying and to show support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth.

This is the very first school for the year, and they have definitely raised the bar high.  The kids from Menands Elementary School wanted to write a song about how bad it is to be a bully.  I was happy to help them along, but they didn't need much of that.

This is now year 18 of the Reading, Writing and Rhyming School Tour. It's unbelievable, but it's true.  Heck, I'd do another 18 if I could.  Besides being on the air, it's the most fun I've ever had behind a piano.  And the fun's about to continue.  I want to come to YOUR school.  Here's how to sign up
