Teachers want bullying answers.
Teachers recorded their experiences on cyber bullying and death threats by mobile phone and on websites on a webpage. They showed it to Schools Minister Jim Knight to prove it really happens. The teachers union, the NASUWT, called for more effective ways to stop the abuse. Besides teachers’ self-esteem and health is seriously affected, the chance of getting new jobs could be harmed by the web abuse as well. It simply damages their career. Teachers are named, exposed to ridicule and subjected to false and sick accusations. It should be clear that respect for teachers is a must in all schools. The Department for Education and Skills is paying serious attention on cyber bullying. They are working with a range of websites, phone companies and internet service providers to look at what they can do to reduce the problem of cyber bullying in schools.

Cyber Bullying is something we must get rid of soon in some way. It is a big issue at school nowadays. It doesn’t only destroy teachers lives but it can destroy teenagers and young adults’ lives as well. In my opinion cyber bullying is considered a crime. The one who is to blame and gets caught should be punished; either get a fine or put in jail. No mercy for the tormentor! This bullying by means of internet and telephone is a sign of a deteriorating society; a society without any discipline. I worry about it a lot, it is a considerate concern we cannot neglect en ignore.

I agree with you about getting rid of cyber bullying, but I'm not sure whether a fine or a visit to jail will help. In my opinion there should be an open conversation in which there is an explanation on what (cyber)bullying will do to people, not only teachers. I cannot believe that most of the tormentors know what the effect of their bullying is. But when talking and explaining doesn't work, well maybe some kind of punishment will help. But if that punishment should be jail? In a way I am afraid that jail will not be the answer but that it will make the problem bigger. A tormentor will get in contact with people you don’t want him in contact with.
I find the whole cyber bullying quite frustrating, especially because it is sometimes very difficult to trace the person who 'did it' (put it online). I think it is a good thing that The Department for Education and Skills is paying serious attention on cyber bullying.
