Poll: On bullying

There has been a lot of news about anti-bullying legislation with regards to bullying behaviors by students in our schools. My role as a teacher to middle and high school students has me often addressing such behaviors and working with students to rectify conflicts that involve bullying.

But what about adults? Because of experiences I have had the past several years (details spared until after this poll), I got to thinking about this and thought I’d conduct an informal poll. So here is the question:

After making attempts to rectify conflicts, at what point do you take a stand to adults who display bullying behaviors, subtley, outwardly, or otherwise – even when working on common issues/projects?
Would you:

  • let it go, continue to work on the project and tolerate the bullying behaviors?
  • drop out of the project so you don’t have to tolerate bullying?
  • other (explain by clicking “speak”)

    (Remember, this is after attempts have been made to address the behaviors.)
