Respect! (connection)

Surfing the website http://www.glsen.org/cgi-bin/iowa/all/library/record/2833.html?state=tools&type=educator; i saw this power title "ready set respect. I had no choice but to read it because i am a strong believer in respect. some of my favorite respect quotes are "you only get some if you give some", "meet me halfway" and "you will receive what you give out".

This article was designed to help elementary educators provide to make an environment that all students feel safe and respected and develop respectful attitudes and behaviors. The GLSEN provides helpful cues to educators prepping themselves for teaching about respect.

Through out the years there has been increases in on bullying in schools.Students at their school are called names, made fun of or bullied more than often then one may think. Most commonly this is because of students' looks, followed by not being good at certain things, how well they do at school or because other people think they're gay and or stupid.

Educators are not to blame but educators are a key to the solution of bullying coming to a halt or slowing down. One obligation is to ensure a safe learning environment for gender nonconforming students. The schooling environment is meant to feel comfortable going to class everyday without thoughts of thinking what one will put down by another student.

Comment: i was on the end of  being bullied once but then i fought back against 2 kids and they left me alone, lesson learned you need to figt for respect sometimes
