The joy of being a teacher is not only to share the happiness with the kids, but also to share the pain as well. Bullying is the one of the most serious topics of them. I am busy teaching math, but I will do these things first.
We had her come to talk to us at our school! Rosalind, if you see this, U R AMAZING!
God bless her for articulating this so well! This is how intelligent adults handle bullying - quite different from "speaking out against bullying", as ineffectual people have been doing "forever".
Awesome speech. I admire Rosalind Wiseman now.
she is a person who really makes this world a better place. I wish there were more people like her. greetings from Russia ❤
and she really cares of what she's doing.
I absolutely agree with Rosalind Wiseman's idea that a teacher should be the bridge between the students and the counselor. They should always intervene when a conflict arises and not turn a blind eye like the burnt out French teacher does. I know that teachers do not have much training in psychology or dealing with bullying issues but the responsibility of a good teacher is to be informed, to read, to get together with peers and socialize the problems.
Great talk! These so important collective actions towards a better society and better individuals, as decent and respectful human beings, part of a great nation. Schools, University, Government and Corporate Institutions, all need to address these damaging twisted behaviour from bullying, harassing and all sorts of unjust, unfair, ignorant and cruel behaviour ... Trying our best for a more Humane Society is a worthwhile cause for the sake of kinder and more caring future generations!
Hi Rosalind,
The points you made throughout your books, Queen Bees and Wannabes and Masterminds and Wingmen are quite compelling. As I read them both, I realized the cruel truth surroundings social expectations of young men and women. For boys, as you described in the ALMB box (The Act-Like-a-Man Box), society expects them to completely hide their emotions and sensitivity, all while struggling with trying to impress girls, other guys, and themselves by being strong, relaxed, athletic, and independent. These expectations disrupt and demolish the natural growth and maturity that all humans are supposed to develop in these growing years. Starting in the beginnings of elementary school, boys are told to “be a man” and never act like girls, whether it’s throwing a baseball or crying about a shortcoming, they are subconsciously telling themselves that girls are inferior and incompetent. With this always in the back of their minds, they grow up to treat women like they are lesser than them, and consequently hurting their loved ones. This is very apparent in our community of Cupertino High School, as any guy who is seen as less masculine than others is looked down upon, and made fun of for opening up with sensitivity. This must change. Thank you for being the voice for so many teens, and showing them that it is ok to be themselves.
Yea Ros! I coach her sons (unbelievable kids) and didn't realize she's all over the internet like this. What a great TedTalk!
I believe the most effective way to manage bullying is to train kids to intervene, proactively shame the bullies, and invite the victims into their social circles. Teachers can play cop, but they are reactionary, not changing the culture.
A bridge to a better place. Thanks for helping one more individual to be a bridge...
Wonderful talk, thank you! Watched as apart of Safe Schools training
She makes valid points and provides the tools. Great speech although I agree that it is first the job of the parents to educate their kids not to be bully and not to accept being a victim. Then again if parents don't do it, it gets on the teachers shoulders to deal with the result :s
Loved hearing her speak...great message!!
it's about the responsibility we have to children, as parents AND as teachers since those very kids spend the majority of their time with those teachers. If you don't care about kids total welfare, then you should NOT be a teacher. Educating children isn't merely academic. Letting bullies get away with what they do, makes YOU as a teacher, just as responsible for the damage done to the child being bullied.
A teacher as a role model should also try to instill positive values in their students. If we taught kids to be more empathic violence would subside. Also schools should accept that emotional intelligence is just as important as intellectual intelligence.
Rosalind Wiseman's son Uses to be in my class.
very nice

Was the teacher actually French? because as a French native myself I can tell you that that's how the French education system deals with bullying. French teachers always hide behind the fact that it is not what they are paid to do, it falls within the jurisdiction of social services and not them...
Generalizations hurt. Be careful. xo
Credit to you Maryline for speaking your mind. Albeit some found it unpalatable.
Bman Chu Systematic anti-French racism is not the solution to bullying coming from your culture !
Maryline Delpy Yes, it is not what they are paid to do, simple as that.
