The author spoke with Law 10,866 teachers during complementary activity
Taking advantage of the holiday period, in complementary activities undertaken by the direction of Anne Frank School in Good End neighborhood, was held on the evening of July 23 last the lecture Alderman Mauro Zacher (PDT) on a theme that has guided a number of public debate: the bullying, its causes, consequences and ways to reduce its intensity in schools gauchos. Author of the 10,866 municipal law, the first to create a public policy on bullying prevention in the country, Mauro spoke with educators, answered questions and explained the simple punishment has not been effective in combating the problem. The counselor protect the micro-8, Walfrid Rose also attended the activity. Both were received by the director Josiane Teles Ferreira.
According to Mauro, the fact is that bullying exists in all schools and their appearance has to do with the fact that the issue has come to receive the attention of researchers worldwide. Councilman presented figures from international, national and local impress. In the United States, for example, 60% of young offenders end up at least once convicted by U.S. courts for crimes to society until age 24.
Of these, 40% relapses up to three times. In Brazil, about 47% of young respondents in a survey conducted by an NGO confirm they have been victims of bullying. In Porto Alegre, a study conducted by researcher Marcos Rolim a state school in the South Zone confirms that high a rate. But it also shows, explains Mauro that 49% of violence is out of school at the entrance or exit, which points to the need for more policing, or by Military Police as the City Guard.
Mauro also said that educators need to win the sympathy of most students and parents for a program to be effective. "Without the mass of students who now attend the fights sure to approve them no chance of an action to succeed," he argues.
Among the measures suggested by Mauro to school, is the formation of a committee of teachers, parents and students to create an anti-bullying program. Ideas such as the adoption of restorative circles, a work of monitoring and research of their own school, the deployment of a space for complaints - once or e-mail - can be mechanisms to support, defend Councilman, concerned in repairing the damage to victims , reconstruction of the broken relationship of friendship and the harmonization of relations with society. He said this is the best way to reduce the incidence of persecution.
Set aggressive attitudes between intentional and repetitive air, marked by an imbalance of power, very common in schools, causing pain, distress and suffering, usually manifested through physical assaults, insults, intimidation, nicknames cruel, unjust accusations, theft, damage, extortion / isolation.
The main types of bullying are: direct and physical, verbal and direct, indirect and cyberbullying, with the consequent drop in school performance and dropout, the physical and psychological suffering with increased risk for suicide and predictive factor for crime and violence in adulthood (Cycle of Violence hypothesis).
