On "Bullying": Guiding Future Protectors through Social Difficulties
Lower School Head, Colin Gleason, addresses "bullying" in today's podcast.\xa0 All across\xa0our fair land, schools feature "Say No to Bullying" posters in the same way that our public transit systems caution riders to "see something, say something." Our children have grown up on high alert that there is a troubled class of individuals out there--BULLIES--that is out to get them.\xa0 That may be true in some sense, but Colin pushes back on the idea that every instance of aggression or lack of charity is "bullying."\xa0 He offers advice for parents and schools working through tough social situations.\xa0 Through out the conversation, our Lower School Head grounds his guidance in the goal of raising boys into protectors.\xa0 Rather than telling young lads not to use their strength, we must channel that strength towards good, noble, and manly purposes.
