Nansel et al., “Bullying Behaviors among U.S. Youth: Prevalence and Association with Psychosocial Adjustment,” Journal of the American Medical Association 285, no.16 (2001): 2094-2100. “ Almost 30 percent of teens in the United States (or over 5.7 million) are estimated to be involved in bullying as either a bully, a target of bullying, or both.”

6. Why It’s Important: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Surveillance Summaries,” MMWR 53, no. Ss-2 (2004). “ 5.4% of high school students (about 864,000 teens) report staying home at least one day a month because they fear for their safety .”

29. What about your classroom? SU-HU-PU: Where do you offer your students choices in your classroom? Where could you give more choices?

31. Wait a minute! Shouldn’t we be terrified of the Internet?

32. “ Our research, actually looking at what puts kids at risk for receiving the most serious kinds of sexual solicitation online, suggests that it’s not giving out personal information that puts kid at risk. It’s not having a blog or a personal website that does that either. What puts kids in danger is being willing to talk about sex online with strangers or having a pattern of multiple risky activities on the web like going to sex sites and chat rooms, meeting lots of people there, kind of behaving in what we call like an internet daredevil .” - Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee http://www.netcaucus.org/events/2007/youth/20070503transcript.pdf

39. “ We, as teachers, need to be so enthralled with the magnificent possibilities of our occupation that we actually enjoy spending time honing our craft, multiplying our skills. Imagine if every teacher eliminated, for example, 2 hours of television watching each week and devoted it to reading professional materials, poring over the web, or collaborating with colleagues.” - Randy Rodgers http://randyrodgers.edublogs.org/2007/05/13/the-lost-art-of-discovery-and-time-the-enemy/
