Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 19.00, Concordia University Montreal (Chicago), course: Educational Policy Analysis, language: English, abstract: Bullying is defined as systematically and chronically inflicting physical hurt or psychological distress and has the effect of doing any of the following: substantial interference with a student’s education, creation of a threatening environment, substantial disruption of the orderly operation of the school. This problem is not limited to the school day. Victims of bullying also suffer in after-school programs such as athletics. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast two K – 12 school district bullying policies: Walton County School District in Florida and YYYY School District in Pennsylvania. Both of these are public school districts that officially enacted an anti-bullying policy in 2008 in response to the alarming number of bullying cases being reported across the United States. The comparison between the two policies will be made in terms of language, procedural steps and reporting, and the perceived effectiveness of the two policies in hopes to determine commonalities as well as differences that make each policy effective in its given district.
