Plus lessons for parents from a community educator from the Mass. Aggression Reduction Center, and recollections from Channel 5 news anchor Ed Harding.
Words can hurt. If they’re used repeatedly against a target, that’s bullying. Bullying can lead to depression, even suicide. So how to deal with bullying? TV Channel 5 news anchor Ed Harding, his wife, Andrea, and Nicole Wilson, a licensed social worker from the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center at Bridgewater State College, addressed that question at the Joyce Middle School auditorium Wednesday night. Harding was bullied, he told the audience, in junior high school. Eventually, he said, his gym teacher paired him and the boy who was bullying him in a wrestling match. In a few short seconds, Harding said he pinned the other boy. Off the mat, Harding said he told the boy the bullying had to stop. The other boy had trouble with his …

For a bullying case, we should teach our children at home, how to respect other people, and never use words or action to scare others. Parents, we are in the fight of our lives for our children and their physical, emotional health. It is time to take a stand and start educating ourselves on what dangers are out there and in turn, start educating our children on how to deal with school bullying. I… more ›
The board will vote tonight on the $5.7 million project.
Update, Tuesday, 4:30 p.m.: The Massachusetts School Building Authority's green roof repairs program is reimbursing the city for 51 percent of the Kennedy project and 25.6 percent of the Joyce. These percentages were approved on March 3 by the MSBA. Tuesday, 2 p.m.: The City Council's Committee on Finance recommended that the board approve a $5.7 appropriation for new roofs at both middle schools at its meeting tonight. The projects would cost $1.8 million at the Joyce, and include the Ned O'Brien Ice Rink roof, and $3.9 at the Kennedy. "There is no question these two roofs need to be replaced," said Alderman Ray Drapeau, who serves as chairman to the council's finance committee. City officials, as well as representatives from architects …

Links to Literacy provides creative, inexpensive ideas from a former teacher for parents.
Ten students sat in the library of the Shamrock Elementary School and looked intently at about a dozen pages of the book, “Pancakes for Breakfast,” projected onto a screen. The book by Tomie dePaola tells its story with illustrations, without words. Then the teacher instructed the students to write their own text for the story. These students are also parents. They were taking part in a program for parents earlier this month on “Story Tellers: Creative Writing through Innovative Activities.” Dawn Little, president of Links to Literacy and the parent of an 8-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter, presented a long list of affordable ideas on how to help children learn to write, interspersed with examples from her own children. “You probably…

Rhonda, I'm sorry you and your daughter are going through this. The media center did tape the program, maybe you can borrow a DVD of it and watch it with your daughter? My other thought, which is harder, is to sit down with Mr. Qualey and all of the kids involved and maybe a third party mediator? This might help get all the issues out in the open and solve them. I will be part of the new PTO for … more ›
