Positive Parenting

Mr. Campbell decides to summarize and chooses the following dialogue option:

Mr. Campbell: So here's what I'm hearing so far, Stephanie. Jordan is harassing you, saying things that make you uncomfortable, making you feel bad about yourself. He gets other students to laugh along. It happens in the hall after my class and it happens during gym.

You haven't felt like you could say something before because you didn't think anyone would do anything about it.

And this doesn't just happen at school. They also make rude comments on your social media posts.

Stephanie: Yeah.

Mr. Campbell: When it happens around other students, they don't speak up or say anything. And some of them laugh. And that makes you feel like what's happening is okay with them. 

Stephanie: Pretty much.

Mr. Campbell: This has made you feel uncomfortable here at school, it's impacting your motivation to participate in class. And you've been leaving class early just to avoid seeing this other student.

Stephanie: Yeah. So, now what?

Coach: Now that Stephanie has shared her situation and Mr. Campbell has gathered a little more information, it’s time to connect her to support.

The engagement meter increases by a tenth.

Mr. Campbell decides to share info and chooses the following dialogue option:

Mr. Campbell: Stephanie, what do you know about how our school handles bullying?

Stephanie: Um, not much? I've seen posters in the cafeteria about stopping bullying but that's really it.

Mr. Campbell: Right. So, Ms. Dixon is the person in our school who handles situations like this. Her job is to meet with students who are experiencing issues, learn more about what they're going through, who's involved, and then come up with a way to make sure it stops happening. What do you think about that?

Stephanie: Um, but, if Jordan finds out I said something, isn't that just going to make it worse?

Mr. Campbell: If it does, then that's part of the bullying and we'll take steps to address it.

Stephanie: Um. Okay. So what do I need to do?

Coach: The engagement meter increases by a tenth.

Mr. Campbell decides to make a plan and chooses the following dialogue option:

Mr. Campbell: Why don't we both meet with Ms. Dixon today? If you'd like. She and I are free 7th period.

Stephanie: (happily surprised) Oh. Okay. Yeah, that'd be sweet. I have science then, with Ms. Carson.

Mr. Campbell: Okay, I'll talk to Ms. Carson and let her know you'll be a little late. It won't be a problem.

Stephanie: Cool, thank, Mr. C.

Coach: Mr. Campbell did a good job referring Stephanie to the school’s designated official for bullying. By offering to go with her, he let her know that he’s invested in helping her and that the school will address Jordan’s behavior.

The engagement meter is now completely filled.

Mr. Campbell decides to end the conversation and chooses the following dialogue option:

Mr. Campbell: Thanks for taking the time to talk, Stephanie. I'm glad you let me know what's been going on.

Stephanie: Yeah, me too.

Mr. Campbell: I'll write down Ms. Dixon's room number. I'll talk to her during lunch and let her know we're coming by. And together, we're going to make sure it stops.

Stephanie: Awesome.

Mr. Campbell: I'm also calling your parents to let them know we had this chat and that we're going to address the situation.

Stephanie: Okay.

Mr. Campbell: If anything else comes up, please don't hesitate to come talk to me. I'm here for you. And it's important that you feel safe here at school.

Stephanie: Cool. I will. And, um, I'm sorry I've been zoning out in class. I'll try to start talking more. I mean, I do have thoughts on Zeus's many love triangles; that guy was a total player. Looking forward to it. But seriously, Mr. C? Thanks.

Mr. Campbell: Happy to help. Now let’s get you that late pass.
