Mutual Respect In School
KENTUCKY...
A northern Kentucky public school district is focusing on student mutual respect in an effort to reduce bullying.
More than 70 middle school students performed skits, songs and dances Tuesday night in a program called "No Scars,".
The effort has gone district wide in the Kenton County Schools after its beginning at Turkey Foot Middle School last year. An effort called "Justice for All" was started by parent Lisa Hughes and her then- eighth grader daughter.
The group made a public service video, which was shown at the school, and produced anti-bullying pledges for students to sign.
Hughes says all involved need to improve the culture of schools, rather than telling students to tough it out.
