There are 50 million children in public and private schools. School buses transport half of them each school day. Of those bus riders that were surveyed, 41% of elementary school students and 52% of middle school students report that bullying happened on the day of the survey.

Bullying prevention or even better proven bullying preemption solutions like the Kamaron KC3 Positive Label Program are critical for bus safety.

The schools that participated in the Positive Label Program report a 75% decrease in bullying behaviors (name-calling, taunting, teasing) on the bus. Likewise, there was a 50% decrease in bullying behavior issues (repeat problems requiring office referral).

Based on traffic accident records, school buses are much safer than the family car. But we also must focus attention on students’ safety from being bullied.

Ideas and Tips: Quotes from Students

As you're guiding your students in the Positive Label Program, take a moment to ask them questions about what they think a certain Positive Label means.

Ms. Hamilton asked her second graders what it means to be "loved" and what it means to be "smart."

The response she got was simple, yet very important.

To her second graders, "loved" means that your Mom or other important people in your life love you. And "smart" means that you get good grades.

Although the answers seem very simplistic, they show how important it is for children to "see" or "feel" their character quality. They need tangible proof. And the proof in these two qualities comes from two very influential adults: Mothers and Teachers.

Keep asking questions...you never know what you may learn from your students!

Ideas and Tips on Positive Label Island!

Mr. Edwards and Ms. Heart of Kedron Elementary, in Fayette County, Georgia, have come up with another great idea on how to promote Positive labels in their P.E. class.

In ''Positive Label Island''-students must travel through an obstacle without falling off to reach the island. If they fall off they must return to the line and try again. Once they land safely on the island, they get to select a positive label and stick it on their clothing.

The students are rewarded with positive labels that relate to the skills they need to complete the task.

Mr. Edwards, a Physical Education teacher in Fayette County, Georgia had a great idea to incorporate Positive Labels in his class.

He organized a relay race on scooters! Each class was divided into 4 teams. The first person on each team would travel via scooter to the middle of the playing field where Positive Labels were displayed. The team member would take a Positive Label and scooter it back to their team and give it to the teammate that they felt fit that label.

What a great way to incorporate Positive Labels in a P.E. activity! Many students have a difficult time with peer acceptance in all classes, but sometimes P.E. can be the hardest. With this idea, everybody scoots away winners!
