Perhaps there will be enough money in the Alberta Education budget to address one of the fastest growing threats to students today: cyberbullying.

Here is a news article from the CBC with more detail.
An excerpt from the article states, "In 2008, a study commissioned by the Canadian Teachers' Federation suggested that 34 per cent of Canadians surveyed knew of students in their community who had been targeted by cyberbullying in the past year, and almost one in 10 knew someone close to them who had been cyberbullied.".

I would hope that a student experiencing this form of bullying would tell their parents, and the school counselor.

A student telling a friend is great and should be done, but a parent or counselor may be able to actually do something about it.

Good teaching... Good learning...
