I read this book for the ASCAU course on bullying and it was the best one I have read for any course. It was written in easily digestible language and chapter sizes. It also had many answers about bullying and policy I had never thought of before. The authors did a great job portraying the issues surrounding bullying and giving their opinions in such a way as it was not shoved down your throat like in some books. This was intended information for educators of high school primarily but very applicable for elementary students I teach as well. It definitely gave me ideas of where to take our bullying prevention efforts next.

i think for the most part there’s a lot of good, interesting, and useful information in the book. however, i didn’t care to read about how even instances of homophobia should be debated civilly with an “it’s okay to disagree” sentiment. these writers are clearly not LGBT and don’t understand LGBT issues. there was also copaganda, but that was less shocking to read.

I read this for an ASCAU course for work. Very clear and specific information that can be applied as a school counselor. Basic information with good items to reflect on.
