Zeman Elementary School - teaching children to knuckle under, suck it up, and blame themselves.
Posted on 04/17/2014 7:18:11 AM PDT by heartwood
LINCOLN, Neb. —Parents from a Lincoln elementary school were astounded when their children came home with a flyer about how to handle bullies.
The flyer had the following rules:
Treat the person who is being mean as if they are trying to help you
Do not be afraid
Do not verbally defend yourself
Do not attack
If someone physically hurts you, just show you are hurt; do not get angry
Do not tell on bullies
Don’t be a sore loser
Learn to laugh at yourself and not get “hooked” by put-downs
Lincoln Public Schools addressed the flyer on its Facebook page Wednesday night.
“Our educators at Zeman Elementary School work hard to provide accurate and appropriate lessons and education for our students in how to handle bullying situations. The flyer was sent home with good intentions, unfortunately, it contained advice that did not accurately reflect LPS best practices regarding response to bullying incidents.”

Zeman Elementary School - teaching children to knuckle under, suck it up, and blame themselves.
If all bullied kids are armed (and trained to respect and use, of course), the bullies will stop bullying. But kids will not be allowed to defend themselves.
No wonder we have such a shortage of real men these days. This would have gone back to the school with some, shall we say, rather pointed comments written in the margins.
I would like to know what is going on inside the brain of the looney prissy fag that wrote this.
I just... I.... what the.... surely nobody actually thinks like this.
i wonder if the teachers will abide by these rules, especially if a student attacks them.
Oh my, who ever wrote this is ...
Completely the wrong advise, a good recipe for the one being attacked to commit suicide.
A good right fist to the bullies nose causing it to bleed will usually stop the bully in his tracks Some times a swift kick to the groin area will also be needed to completely stop the actions.
Rule #1 — during the first (and last) bullying incident, identify the bully and the bully’s hangers on.
Rule #2 — choose the time and place and take out the bully and the hangers on when each one is on their own and without witnesses.
Rule #3 — set up everything so you have an alibi.
Rule #4 — deface these stupid ‘proper dhimmi behavior’ posters whenever and wherever found.

You mean like:
Did you actually read this advise in a child psychology book or are you just trying to impress your intellectual friends with the most idiotic ideas possible masquerading as teaching.
I choose to teach my child to stand his ground and fight if necessary.
I will raise my son to be a man, not a cowering scared victim, thankyouverymuch.
Sorry, my kids are not willowing pacifists in pink panties and I choose not to fill their heads with this mambypamby psychobabble.
In the future, please run any ‘advise’ by me before you attempt to cram your crap into my child’s head. I will decide if your advise corresponds with the type lessons I want my children to learn.
Excellent, excellent. This is way we fight. Give Donna a call. Send her an email. Happy time is over, Donna!
The school has withdrawn the flyer and apologized after objections from the parents. I’m not sure what is to be gained by out-of-staters jamming the phone lines and sending screeds at this point.
Don’t tell if you’re being bullied??
Teachers already know who the bullies are. If they try to do something about it the bullies will turn their anger on them. Can’t have that.
ALL of this is wrong@!@!
But:
DO NOT TELL ON BULLIES??????
We already have a large segment of the society who will witness a horrific crime in broad daylight & refuse to know anything.
How are you going to stop bullying if you don’t report the perp??
WHY does this sound like the school doesn’t want to deal with the bullies? Keep silent-—they don’t exist!!
I am stunned.
My kids would be out of that school before the end of the week, and I would campaign to get the entire group that wrote up these ‘rules’ fired-—and OUT OF TEACHING for life.
BAN BOSSY!
Rule #5 ...It takes two people to fight, so it’s the person who retaliates or responds, who actually starts the fight
Wow. So if I hit the idiot who wrote this and she hits back she is the one who started it? Absolute insanity. These people are getting to the point where they are beyond redemption.
The flyer shows how Obama wants us to react to a government takeover.
Repulsive. OK, we need to know who the authors are.
