12. Bully Proof Your Child would be students in Hillsboro High School in Nashville, tennessee, who created everyone sattention the parents and other teachers, at ptas/ptos, the school http://www.brightword.com/bully_proof_your_child.html

Interview with Kathy Noll coauthor of Taking the Bully by the Horns By Janie Bowman Please share some background on why your book was written and the response you've gotten My book, Taking the Bully by the Horns is the children's version of Dr. Jay Carter's best-selling book, Nasty People. Dr. Carter asked me to write this book because he had liked my short stories I wrote for children. There is also a great need for information on bullies now as a lot of children are having problems. I know this because I receive a lot of mail asking for help. Those who have shared my book with their children or students tell me the children feel stronger after reading my book. They also understand bullying behavior better, and have improved their self-esteem. Has bully behavior increased or decreased during the past ten years? Based on the statistics I've been studying, it has increased. A few years ago we had a chain of school shootings and bomb threats which resulted in "copy cat" behavior. However, some good may have come out of it as, recently, many schools have become involved with "anti-bullying" campaigns and "no tolerance" policies. With programs such as these, and books such as my own available, I'm hoping by this time next year I will be able to tell you that both school crime and bullying behavior have decreased. Some schools have taken the "Zero-Tolerance" to the extreme and have suspended or disciplined children for things that we normally don't consider threatening. Students and families lose faith in the system when this happens. Why would schools exhibit such a knee-jerk reaction and what can parents do when this happens?

RECEIVE EMAIL UPDATES: SEARCH PTO TODAY: For Richer, For Poorer Affluent parent groups reach out to aid less fortunate PTOs and schools By Emily Graham Burning Tree Elementary School in Bethesda, Md., has a powerhouse PTA with volunteers to handle any request, but many schools in the area are not so lucky. Fourteen miles away at Broad Acres Elementary School in Silver Spring, PTA President Jose Otero is working to boost parental involvement at a school where many parents do not speak English. The two schools banded together in a PTA partnership three years ago. Last school year the parent groups planned science days and career days together and then carried the events out at each school. While most parent groups constantly struggle to engage parents in school activities, meetings, and fundraisers, a few like Burning Tree’s have taken volunteerism beyond their own walls and into other community schools. In Memphis, Tenn., parents at Dogwood Elementary School organized a major tutoring initiative for students at Raineshaven Elementary. For four months, parents commuted from Dogwood to Raineshaven to help children improve their reading skills. In both cases, parents from affluent neighborhoods volunteered their efforts in less-prosperous parts of town, but the schools in Maryland and Tennessee took very different approaches to establishing cross-school partnerships. In Bethesda, the schools formed a PTA-to-PTA partnership, with the well-established Burning Tree PTA mentoring the greener Broad Acres PTA. Memphis’ Raineshaven Elementary did not have an active parent group, so Dogwood PTA members forged their alliance with school administrators and teachers.
