The main reason I became a teacher was because of my own high school and middle school experiences and that I didn't want one child in my care to ever feel like I did. The teacher being fully present, and recognizing the tactics of bullying behavior provides safety for this type of activity within the classroom. Many students exhibiting bullying behavior do not even recognize their patterns. I so appreciate your observation. It has been my experience in teaching that when we allow students to remain 'safe' within their 'hang' groups the opportunity for bullying is perpetuated. Cliques mainly support bullying, and usually by not doing anything. They don't reach out to others. I need to say that the class I teach this in is an elective, meaning the students want to be there and have a genuine interest in the subject matter. I would totally agree with you that this could be a concern within a class where students are obligated to take it. All the more reason for the teacher to be vigilant...

If a singer just sang unknown rhyme of songs then the other singer has top that and sell better than.
such this shows the theft doesn't only encourage the watcher but also inspired their abilities.
So it is better to look or search something that excels the theft or comes near to what is stolen.
We are just africans here and we try to reach where the westerners passed 19th century.
