Active Learning At Its Best


David's List

Learning Through Action was due to visit David's primary school with a behaviour project ("You're OK, I'm OK!").

Before the visit, the head teacher asked a group of nine and ten-year-olds to list what they thought was bullying.

Most children managed a couple of examples; half-a-dozen of David's peers managed four or five examples.

Here is a transcript of David's List:
  1. Punch them
  2. Call them names
  3. Call their parents names
  4. Kick them
  5. Throw stones at them
  6. Threaten them
  7. Smash their windows
  8. Tell lies about them
  9. Take their friends off them
  10. Don't let them play
  11. Hit them after school
  12. Steal their toys
  13. Tell people to beat them up
  14. Trick them
  15. Force them to do something dangerous
  16. Make fun of their colour
  17. Make fun if their handicapped
  18. Make fun of their language
  19. Taunt them
