Your problem (phrase):
|
Bullying in P.S. 186 |
Present evidence that a problem exists. Be as specific as possible and cite at least one source of data:
|
Studies indicate that
approximately 15% of students are either bullied regularly or are initiators
of bullying behavior (from http://ericps.crc.uiuc.edu/eece/pubs/digests/ed-cite/ed384437.html
) Thereforewe may infer that bullying is a problem
in our school as well. |

Our committee conducted a survey
among a sample of 20 students and 20 teachers from our school using www.OpinionPower.com The survey “Bullying in P.S. 186” produced
some of these results: (1) 65% of the students and 25% of the teachers said
they knew of at least one student at P.S. who was having a problem with a
bullying student (2) 50% of the
students and 20% of the teachers indicated that bullying was either a “very
serious” or “somewhat serious” problem at P.S. 186. |
