Fewer bullies in schools

March 8, 2010 By WRN Contributor

Educating students about how to stop bullies appears to be paying off in schools.

Jon Hisgen of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is beaming about a report that finds a more than 30-percent reduction in the number of school kids nationwide who report being bullied or beaten up by their peers.

Hisgen has been involved in a statewide educational effort to halt the age-old problem. He says it’s a behavior that affects learning and impacts many children. The effort has focused on getting teachers involved to stop bullying early on.

The reduction in bullying took place over a five year period.
