Abstract | This paper draws attention to a knowledge gap in leadership models regarding bullying, particularly cyberbullying, an emergent form of student harassment and discriminatory discourse in popular youth culture. Educators need guidance in addressing this behavior. The focus is on three important considerations: 1) the need to avoid criminalizing children and adolescents; 2) the need to clarify educators' legal obligations to protect students from psychological harm; and 3) the need to delimit educators' legal obligations to sustain school environments that reduce bullying and create equal opportunities for learning. Improved law-related courses, grounded in compatible theories on leadership, social justice, and ethics of care, are recommended for education students. Educators who take courses in these disciplines show great promise in helping schools navigate the unprecedented dilemmas of technology and pluralism through ethical and legally defensible alternatives. [Cyberbullying means a form of covert bullying using the Internet: anonymous hateful comments or threats, gossip through online chat rooms, e-mails to intimidate others]. (DIPF/Orig.). |
