KU Professor Creates Anti-Bullying Program

University of Kansas psychology professor Robert Harrington is creating a program to help schools address bullying.
Kansas schools are about to get some help confronting bullying.
University of Kansas psychology professor Robert Harrington is creating a certificate program to help schools address the problem. The program will be available online for educators across the state.
Kansas is not among the 33 states with statewide policies on school bullying. Instead, districts adopt their own. Harrington analyzed about half of the Kansas policies.
Harrington found none included language on when parents should be notified of bullying. Also, very few involved training for teachers or parents on how to handle bullying.
The program will show teachers and schools methods to curb bullying, such as problem-solving conflict resolution, anger control, social skills training, relaxation and tolerance training. It also discourages suspending bullies, saying the traditional punishment doesn't curb the problem.
Comments must stay on topic and be respectful. Comments that are personal attacks, make unfounded accusations, or are for the purpose of "trolling" or inciting others will be removed. Offending users will have their profile suspended.

Just a matter of your cases getting to top of the stack, which will probably be within next 3-6 weeks. We will meet then. YOu are enforcer and trash. People are onto you and now law enforcement is too. Mod and the judge have mercy on your soul but not yoru sentence. VICTORY IS SOOOOOO SWEET? Ridding the world of haters on Redneck at a time!!

Dear SalinaSenior - don't let gonnagetu fool you. He makes these threats when in fact he has no idea who you are and even if we knew who you were, everyone would applaud you for taking a stand against immature hate mongers and bigots. I admire you for your moral backbone and so does the rest of the vast majority of this good community. Keep up the vigil. Thank you and God bless.
