Don’t just prevent bullying, fix the bullies

Commentary: Don’t just prevent bullying, fix the bullies
Daniel Zingale, senior vice president at the California Endowment, writes that the flexibility in the state’s new anti-bullying law will give school officials room to enact policies aimed at both preventing bullying and rehabilitating those who bully. "Across California and across the country, schools are stepping away from zero tolerance and toward a new approach called restorative discipline. Restorative discipline teaches accountability by requiring bullies to 'make it right' with the kids they hurt," Zingale writes. Advocate.com (10/27)
