OPINION: Bullying is on the rise, survey shows. How did we get here?
I have been thinking a lot lately about bullying in schools, as a parent, citizen and executive director of a nonprofit that works closely with educators across the nation. I know that many of us
have been.
My organization, Youth Truth, has analyzed insights about bullying from survey responses of
more than 180,000 students in grades 5-12 across 37 states. We’ve learned that most bullying still happens in person (not online), and that the top three reasons students felt they were bullied included their appearance, their race or skin color, and because other students thought they were gay. Overall, just over one in four students in 2016 said they had been bullied in school.
Over the last year in particular, however, many of my educator colleagues around the country
were feeling like there was more to the story. They were looking at their own “student voice” data
and wanted to know: Is bullying increasing just at my school, or is this part of a larger trend? How
did we get here? Who is being bullied, and why? Emboldened by these conversations, we recently
took a fresh look at our latest bullying data to better understand this shifting landscape.
(…)
Students are not always considered front-line experts as we work to make our schools and classrooms safe spaces for learning. But they should be. Asking students directly and anonymously
for feedback is incredibly powerful. There is so much we can learn when we not only ask students about their experiences, but also listen deeply and react promptly to what we hear. Indeed, listening
to students is the first step in building the knowledge, dialogue and action needed to stop bullying in our schools.

D. Many of my educator colleagues around the country were feeling like there was more to the

ORCHID
The orchids are a large family of flowering plants, the Orchidaceae. They are herbaceous monocots.
There are between 22,000 and 26,000 species in 880 genera. They make up between 6–11% of all seed plants. Orchids can be found in almost every country in the world except for Antarctica.
Some orchids have very special ways of pollination. For example, the Lady's Slipper can trap insects and make them pollinate the flower. Another instance is the Austrian orchid, which grows underground and is pollinated by ants. (Report Text)

My first time experience in
Bali
At 55 I have just gone to Bali for the first time with my husband. We stayed in Seminyak and
had a wonderful time. We took Jetstar in economy over and were in 2nd last row and even then by
time off plane purchasing VOA and Immigration took about 1 hour - wasn't too bad. Departing last night, Jetstar was late by one hour but we had paid to go Business class so it was not that bad. We sat
in Premier Lounge - not a great selection of food or wine (wine is my thing) but it was enjoyable anyway. Of course, new airport is underway and things may be different once that is up and running. We didn't get sick or robbed or bitten. Yes, footpaths are broken and or missing and some smells but that didn't 16deter us. People were friendly and so polite. The weather was just fantastic. When asked
to take what looked like post cards we politely said "no thank you " and that was the last of it. Bintang beer mostly $2.50 very cheap and was the food and we ate in good restaurants - La Lucciola, Breeze, Sardine, Sarong and Metis. As we had breakfast supplied at The Samaya we didn't need lunch and we were given fruit salad by the pool and afternoon tea so only dinner was required. We enjoyed Sarong
in particular. We used hand sanitizer and luckily for us we didn't get the dreaded dire - rear. A driver took us to Ubud and Jimbaran Bay and through Kuta. Mostly this was a relaxing one week there. Manicures, pedicures, hair, massage were so cheap - roughly $8 - we had these done at Body Works
in Seminyak. I also had Wendy the dressmaker come to our hotel and made me skirts which I was
very happy with. This morning in Sydney airport, it took us just 30 minutes to be off the plane and
into a taxi. Jetstar made up time flying home - only 5 hours and 10 minutes. It was all a breeze. Bali
had never been on my to do list, but I will be going back that is for sure.

Text for questions number 7-8
The Real Reason Why TV Is Bad for the Kids
"Books are good for children." "TV is bad for children." Everyone seems to know this. In the
same way that we know that we should be eating lots of fruits and vegetables and limiting sweets,
we all know that kids should spend a lot of time with books and relatively little time with TV.
But why? Can't kids learn just as much from TV as they do from books? There is no doubt that
TV can be educational. But one of the unforeseen consequences of TV viewing is reducing how
much parents talk with their children. And diminished parent-child interaction can have negative
effects on children, especially when they are young.
In a recent study of toddlers and pre-schoolers, we observed mothers and their children while
they read books, watched a pro-social TV program, or played with toys. We found TV viewing suppressed both the amount and quality of mother-child communication. That is, moms made
relatively few comments to their children while co-viewing. When they did speak, their comments
were often unrelated to what their child said, thereby creating an unproductive exchange that could hinder children's opportunity for learning.
Moms who read books to their children, however, not only talked significantly more but also used
a very high-quality form of communication that included asking questions, labelling objects, affirming their child, and responding to their child's statements or questions with relevant information. It is important to note that the increased quantity and quality of communication was not due to the fact that moms were reading the words on the pages. Instead, this difference reflected the communication that occurred above and beyond the actual reading that the mother did with the child.
Playing with toys also elicited a high amount of communication, including some high-quality
forms of interaction. Although not better than books, toy playing was significantly better than shared TV viewing at encouraging communication.
With these results in mind, let's consider the child who spends a good chunk of the day watching TV. From this perspective, the problem is not necessarily what content, either good or bad, the child
has experienced (of course content does make a difference too). Instead, the problem is what this
child is missing. Young children who watch lots of TV may be missing out on valuable - even crucial interactions with parents during a critical point in their development. Parent-child interaction, even
with children who can't yet speak, is vital to children's healthy development.
The American Academy of Pediatrics just released their updated TV guidelines for children ages
2 and under. In their statement, they discourage all TV viewing for children in this age group. Part of
the justification for their recommendation is that TV viewing reduces parent-child communication.
Some parents may believe that they can't offer their children the kinds of educational experiences
that TV provides. But they are wrong. Children learn the best from real people, especially people who are important to them. When parents talk with their children, they not only promote their language development but also teach their children that they are valued and important. Reading books and turning off the TV can facilitate these positive interactions.
