Presentation by Tyler Carley

Issue: Cyberbullying
Over 95% of high school aged children have been bullied.
Over 45% of high school aged children have been bullied.
Accompanying bullying are other types of undesireable behavior
such as gossiping and backstabbing.
The whole scenario requires skilled intervention on the part of
teachers, administrators and parents to resolve it.
In one school district, a teacher attempted to resolve a bullying
incident in the following way. She had all the bullys classmates
file around him, and strike him all the while saying mean things to
him. She was fined. This shows the need for proper training by
teachers and counselors about the right type of intervention.
There is no real policy in the district of Cave Creek Unified School
District for digital citizenship.
