| Description: | We would like to talk with middle school students about bullying--what goes on at their schools, what they do about it, how they stop it, deal with it, etc. Then we want to compare this to ours AND then take a tip or two from each! We are all reading the book Schooled, by Gordan Korman and will use this discussion to tie in with that book BUT reading the books is not necessary. |
