Summary
School safety expert Edward Dragan argues that parents need to be proactive in looking out for their children's social well being at school. From his many decades as a Board of Education insider, he argues that schools are self-protective entities and reluctant to address bullying themselves. The Bully Action Guide shows parents how to: discuss bullying with their child ; efficiently address individual needs with teachers ; take effective action to stop the bullying. --from publisher description.
