Being tolerant and caring for each other is what makes us human. As part of our leadership program, we teach our students that we must "Seek first to understand and then be understood." By teaching tolerance, mutual respect and understanding, we allow individuality and diversity while promoting peace. Our success in the fight against intolerance depends on the effort we make to educate ourselves and our children. “Intolerance can be ignored. We must learn tolerance and mutual respect ”(Information Service of the United Nations 2004). "A person is intimidated when he is exposed, repeatedly over time, to negative actions on behalf of one or more people, and has difficulty defending himself."
The basic elements of bullying are:
• Unequal power: one person has more power than the other person (or at least that seems to be for the people involved).
• Harmful actions: harmful behavior occurs physically or psychologically.
• Direct and indirect actions: the behavior can be face to face or back.
• Repetitive behavior:
hurtful actions continue to happen, so that the person who is being hurt finds it increasingly difficult to escape. Teasing, rude accommodation or even playing fighting are not considered bullying when both students are willing participants
Bullying can take many forms:
1. Verbal harassment, including derogatory comments, bad names, lies and false rumors.
2. Intimidation through social exclusion or isolation.
3. Physical harassment, such as hitting, kicking, pushing and spitting.
4. Have money or other things taken or damaged by students who bully
5. Be threatened or forced to do things by students who bully
6. Cyberbully (by cell phone or Internet) AMELIA´S PRIVATE SCHOOL INC. has developed a policy statement to help us prevent and intervene during incidents of bullying and / or cyber-bullying and to guide students, parents and teachers should they occur. Our policy is divided into two main sections: Prevention and Intervention
PREVENTION: As a school, we generate awareness and openness about the problem with students through our values-based curriculum, carrying out activities on kindness and acceptance, and promoting a peaceful coexistence between students with different backgrounds.
INTERVENTION As a school, we will try to resolve most situations first through peaceful mediation between the parties involved, encouraging our students to become peacemakers and practice mutually beneficial agreements
If the mediation is not effective or produces significant positive changes, the school discipline committee will study each case individually and act in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the
AMELIA´S PRIVATE SCHOOL INC.
Recognize, reject, inform Students, parents / guardians, as well as staff are encouraged to immediately report all incidents of bullying or suspected cyber bullying / harassment to the appropriate department.
If you think it is an emergency, contact the school's Psycho-pedagogical department, or Principal of the School.
