Beckford Primary Beckford Summary
In his article, Beckford uses expert opinion to attempt to make his reader think about the educational decisions at Barrowford Primary. For example Beckford uses a quotation from an Ofsted report, which read: “bullying is not dealt with effectively.” Beckford uses this to suggest that the headteacher (Rachel Tomlinson) has made bad choices in regards to her Lancashire school. He does this by making the reader think about the behaviour of children in Barrowford, this is an important point for Beckford to raise because if children are bullied it fortifies his idea that this school has problems with their decisions as students wouldn’t bully each other if there were punishments for their actions.

Beckford also uses inverted commas around things

    Van Chester Thompkins was charged with multiple charges. He moved to suppress his statements made during the interrogation. He was found guilty on all charges by a jury of his peers and sentenced to life in prison without parole. His appellate counsel filed a motion for a new trial which was rejected by the trial court. He appealed the ruling to the Michigan Court of Appeals and the trial courts original refusal to suppress his pre-trial statements made during interrogation claiming his Miranda rights were violated. His claims were rejected ruling that he failed to invoke his right to remain silent therefore he waived it. He then filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan; they also rejected his claim and upheld the previous court rulings.

    This article was very interesting. It really applies to my honors essay and was a great in-depth desciption into Football at Carlisle. During football documentaries, the early portion of football history always talks in great detail about the successes of Harvard and Yale, accounting their great rivalry and historical relevance. This article takes a different perspective focusing on the successes of the Carlisle football team. The article states, “By 1907, the Carlisle Indians were the most dynamic team in college football.” I found this quote to put in perspective the impact of football at Carlisle. The next sentence states that Carlisle started to incorporate the forward pass, the overhand spiral, and multiple trick plays. All to those aspects…

    She provided various opinions of an author, the local community, government officials, parents, and a universal law professor. Incorporating multiple sources allowed for a stronger writing. The strength of her writing comes from just that, the many sources. Another part of her article which strengthens her writing is that her gathered evidence include both sides of the case. For example, pro-Boomer, a UCLA law professor shares their opinion, while against Boomer, the local community’s opinions were also shared going against Boomer. Simon’s writing has included sources for both sides. The problem with a weak explanation is not present in her article because both sides are presented.…

    Bullying should never be tolerated. All signs of bullying should be taken very seriously. The response to incidents should be appropriate, according to the age and level of understanding of the pupils. I should be aware of the school’s strategies for dealing with bullying behaviour, deal with each incident individually, and provide a secure environment in which pupils can report incidents confidentially. Respond calmly and consistently to all incidents. Provide long-term and positive programmes of personal development where it is required. Record and deal with all the incidents as quickly as…

    The issue of bullying is a problem that has been addressed more frequently in recent years. This issue wasn’t talked about more often due to the fact that that bullying was either not known about or not pertinent enough to attract constant attention from the public. Witted and Dupper state that, “High-level forms of violence such as assault and murder usually receive most media attention, but lower-level forms of violence such as bullying has only in recent years started to be addressed by researchers, parents and guardians and authority figures.” (p. 167) It is no mystery that students have been bullied in schools for years. However it was always seen as an act of initiation or simply passed off as “growing pains,” and the acts involved in these bullying incidents were not consisting of enough severity to warrant much attention. Usually the public became aware and involved in the subject only when the act of bullying led to an escalation of events that culminated in tragedy. It is only recently, in the 1990’s, that the public has identified bullying and violence in schools as a real threat. This subject has sparked interest in today’s society since it has spiraled…

    The article is of informative nature, it addresses a problem that is known to most individuals attending a school, and individuals who have attended school, or have someone attending a school. This article is well organized and it clearly states the problem, the hypothesis, the mode of testing they implicated on their research and their findings. The authors of the article do not define some terms, which gives an impression that they assume the subject is of common knowledge. Clearly bullying is a problem which constitutes some commonly known negative afflictions to its victims. There is however one area of bullying in schools, which has drawn little attention and that, is the issue of “bystanders or witnesses of bullying” (Rivers, Poteat, Noret, & Ashurst 2009).…

    by Mr Bullyproof | Follow Him on Twitter Here What are your definitions of bullying? Are those definitions useful to you? One of the major problem schools have in dealing with bullying is in how they define it. It’s not just a paper exercise in thinking up labels, it makes a massive difference as to whether the organisation takes action as result of an incident or not. If you have a child who is being bullied at school, the school will only help them if the teachers believe that whatever has taken place counts as bullying. Will a teacher take action because one child sneers at another? It not only depends on whether a teacher believes the child but also whether the teacher considers sneering to be bullying. This is one of the reasons why schools are so bad at dealing with bullying. Currently, 50% of children have at least one experience of being bullied every school term yet 86% of teachers have not seen any bullying in the last 12 months. (Source: Respectme annual conference November 2009). Bullying is subjective. It means different things to different people. To become bullyproof you must accept this completely. You cannot allow other people to decide whether you are being bullied or not. You are the only person who gets to decide. About a third of all the enquiries I get include a phrase like this: “I’m not sure if this is considered as bullying but….” Many parents who call me are concerned that their situation might not be ‘serious enough’ for me to deal with. Perhaps I won’t consider what is happening as bullying. To me, if someone feels that they are being bullied then they are. My definition of bullying is worded to allow for the subjective nature of bullying. It is also a useful definition as it has a subtle empowering quality for my clients: “Bullying is a parasitical exchange, where one person gains a benefit from hurting another”…

    By revealing to the audience that the program Coleman and Brightbill work for have a database that keeps a record of homeschool abuse cases, their bias on the argument of regulating homeschooling rules are portrayed. This shows that the authors truly care about what is happening and wish to find some way to stop this phenomenon. This bias appears to help the argument because it not only shows their emotions, but also contributes to their ethos. By commenting on this database, it makes the reader realize that the authors deal with these types of cases and shows that homeschool abuse cases reach higher levels than just a few cases here and there. Bias is also displayed in the mentioning of the regulations. The authors…
