As a home educator for nearly 2 decades it has always been a high priority to teach acceptance and to not tolerate bullying in any form. As a 4-H leader it was my goal to teach and practice acceptance, volunteerism, and kindness and we did in every aspect of the club, even if a known bully joined. As a parent, my son (attending public school) had been bullied in school for an extended period of time until we learned about it. We learned together about the bully and began to show him kindness and respect as we understood him more and more. It turned his life around - as the bully had not been taught - the 2 boys are now friends. I have educational experience as well as a personal experience.
