| Top 10 Ways Schools Are Best Line Of Defense Against Cyber Bullying Posted: 17 Jun 2012 09:05 PM PDT Bullying is a fixture in the classroom. Many students and children fear their bullies and find it is not the difficult to remember a bully in their school. Cyberbuillying has recently emerged and is booming. Students and children cannot escape it due the impersonal nature of online communication. Schools have a role in preventing cyberbuillying and are thus the best line of communication for the following 10 reasons.
1. Teach respect: Schools are well situated to instill respect in students. Many programs like Tribes are designed to form mutual respect in the classroom and in schools. Character Education is another one that could be implemented. Students are rewarded for good behaviour and for following good character traits.
2. Schools interact with students: Students are in school for 40 hours a week. They spend more time with their teachers than with their parents. Teachers act as a role model and should work to interact with students to teach them the right from the wrong.
3. Civic & Social Development: Schools also have the responsibility for the civic and social development of their students. Brown vs. Education Supreme Court case recognized the importance of opening up students to the differing cultural values.
4. See first signs: Schools usually are the ones who witness the first signs of bullying. There are other underlying reasons which sometimes lead to bullying online. They usually occur in person at first.
5. Punish & Prevent: Iowa Law Review argues that teachers and administrators are appropriate actors for punishing and preventing cyber bullying. At times it is hard to identify the cases unless the victim speaks to a staff member.
6. Change course: Teachers have the power to change course. They have been empowered and entrusted with the ability to transform people and educate them into being exemplary citizens. If cyber bullying signs are scene, they must adjust and monitor accordingly. Maybe have a lesson on character to reiterate expectations.
7. Teach netiquettes: When teaching etiquettes in primary grades, teachers should also teach netiquettes. Respect should be given to all individuals whether offline or online.
8. Resources: Schools also have the resources and can go through the training to help parents keep an eye over cyber bullying. Conferences such as Facebook 101 are ways schools give back to the community for their support.
9. Identify the triggers: There is a discrepancy regarding what is cyber bullying. Teachers are good role models and should influence their students to know when to stop.
10. Partnership: It is a partnership. The more eyes the better.

| Posted: 17 Jun 2012 09:05 PM PDT All provinces in Canada are unique culturally, politically, socially and economic. More so is Quebec for the following 10 reasons.
1. Quebec is the only province who was not a signatory of the Constitutional Amendment of 1982. Trudeau believed that it was a matter of good politics and not mandatory for him to consult with provinces.
2. Along with Alberta and Manitoba, the legal age for drinking and smoking is 18. All other provinces and territories have it at 19.
3. The official language and language of choice in Quebec is French. All other provinces have English as its officiated language, with the exception of New Brunswick. New Brunswick has both English and French as official languages.
4. Quebec is also the only province to have had 2 referenda. Since the late 1970s, they had a sentiment to leave Canada to become its own country. It lost by a small margin in the 1995 referendum.
5. The Bloc Quebecois is a party for separatist Quebecois. In 1993, it formed the opposition with the downfall of Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell. As of 2011, it has dwindled to 2 seats, losing its official party status.
6. In Quebec, minority rights are less accepted than in other parts of the country. For example, 40% Quebeckers find that wearing hijabs is acceptable, while 70% of other Canadians feel it is acceptable.
7. Roman Catholicism is identified in the Constitution as significant for Quebeckers. Much of the rest of the provinces are protestant inclined in the constitution.
8. Half of Quebeckers do not speak English. Many others only speak minimal English.
9. All signs are written in French, unlike everywhere else in Canada. If sign are written in English, they would need to contribute to the learning of French
10. Quebec economy is also more statist than the other provinces/territories. The government invests a great deal of money in local businesses.
