Berman jobs. I wanted to just dive into this whole idea of bullying I've shared with the and I -- feeling. Reenergize. You know and now that I'm kind of back to life after my mom's illness. To really try to get this. Coalition that I've been fantasizing about this coalition for the creation compassionate children off the ground. Because as you know India and I've been reading up on that's did you know that a 160000. Kids. Miss school every year stay home for school for fear of bullying . It's crazy to me. And that you know they're all of these recent things I know you've seen in the news. This little girl. What was her name that I have it right here that I've I've talked ran the show before. A Phoebe Prince. I'm Maggie young girls to act it killed herself after you know these people think bullying is just physical bullying beating up. And as what happened was and I as I told you before I my kids go to a very progress says. Very pro active very empowering kind of school that's into Ali's alternative programs and raising socially responsible kids and so on and so forth. And when I called the lower school principal and asked her. You know what they did it to -- like what what's cup pro what kind of policy they had in place in the classroom to deal with bullying . And it was in the context of something that was happening with my child. Where He wasn't being physically bullied but there was one kid in the class. Who by the way just happened to be the younger brother of another kid who bullied my older son ten years before. Yeah that this can it was not allowing my son to play. In the playground first week of school he's flipping out IRA because he's having a hard time adjusting to kindergarten in the big school and everything else this kid -- -- imply day. And so I ice I asked so you know this woman that the pretzels kind of helping him adjust because there are lots of problems with that classroom they put him in the classroom with no other kids that He knew there are lots of issues that we are trying to deal. But anyway -- center what's your policy on bullying because you know this is going on and she got very happy with me she said well. That's not bullying you know bullying . We actually have a very firm policy on bullying and that is physical you know when when when a child gets physical and another child there is zero tolerance for that.

Is that. The schools. Even they have the most amazing. -- non bullying tolerance policy. They it's not well and for first. And it's not in so much of the bullying goes on away from the teachers ice you know when the teachers not looking. And that bullying is not just physical that's a very small sub strata of bullying that bullying is. And you know major exclusion when a child invites the entire agreed to -- birthday party except for two kittens. Town when you know what you know when He when when that the cyber bullying that's going on with all these networking sites which is really one of the keys. And then speak Phoebe Prince the bullying case because she is not only be being bullied am at school and and rumors. At a batter and now. -- stuff being said about her. But also out and I'm

from school there is a Texas boy who reportedly committed suicide after bullying . And like I said it's emotional bullying . It's. Physical bullying and it's cyber bullying those are really kind of I guess the three main categories and I really see bullying as. When someone is trying to hurt someone else. And that person had you know either emotionally physically or be reputation only. And that person who is doing that hurt has more purse power and the person who's hurting every they're bigger they're more popular. They have more status whatever -- as that to me is that you know kind of consummate that definition. And what bullying as and where I didn't really focus it now that I've realized that may be the school's you know -- there's really not consistency with the schools. There's not good enforcement of the schools. I know there are lots of organizations out there that are trying to create programs for schools and we're actually going to be. Talking -- -- really a woman whose creator really revolutionary and innovative. Entire school in Milwaukee that is kind of based on this premise -- zero tolerance for bullying China -- Lending her was been wisdom to us in just a minute but. And I want her opinion on my idea.
