Description

The most often suggested strategy given to children if they are bothered by bullies is to tell their teacher or to get help from an adult (American School Health Association, 2005). Yet when teachers are asked to list their biggest frustration, one of the most frequent responses is--tattling! A major disconnect ensues if children are told to go to teachers for help, yet teachers feel annoyed and irritated when they come to them for support (Gartrell, 2007; National Education Association, 2009). Why is it that teachers are not more receptive and helpful when children come to them with complaints (Charach, Pepler, & Ziegler, 1995)? Why are children often sent away or shamed for tattling (Brewster & Railsback, 2001; Cohn & Canter, 2006; Skiba & Fontanini, 2000)? Teachers may have to hear tattling many times a day, and thus it can become a time-consuming nuisance. Consequently, teachers tend to minimize the concern and sometimes excuse the person who teases by saying, "Oh, Sammy is just having a rough day. Find someone else to play with." Other teachers feel that it is important for children to "toughen up" in order to deal with life, and that enduring "sticks and stones" is just a part of growing up.
