Students, Parents Take Lessons in Preventing Bullying
by NY 1 News
Some school kids and their parents are getting a lesson in leadership and conflict resolution.
Fourth and fifth graders from P.S. 6 in Tottenville are being trained to stop bullying in school, as part of a "Stand Up And Lead" seminar sponsored by the United Federation of Teachers.
"We're training the parents, we're training the young people, so that the entire school community can take a stand united together with the skills to prevent bullying and to stop it wherever it exists," said Lindy Crescitelli of Stand Up And Lead.
"I wasn't sure what to expect when we got here, but I like that they involve everybody. I think it's pretty cool," said parent Lorraine Liquori. "It was fun meeting some new people on the stage and you can really learn here about not being a bully," said student Nicholas Rago.
