GRACIOUS STUDENTS DON’T BULLY! Bullying often raises its ugly head at schools and takes on different shapes and sizes. As part of Kevin Foo’s unflagging effort to inculcate gracious habits among Singapore’s student population, he has in 2019 come up with, GRACIOUS STUDENTS DON’T BULLY!” In this latest guidebook, Foo deliberately reduced the use of words, but instead identifies, tackles and presents examples of bullying, by way of cartoon-like illustrations. In his opinion, it’s easier to engage children with the use of humorous illustrations than with prose – the fun element helps them to focus on what they should…or should not do. The book is the first to be published, in this format, on the subject of bullying in schools, and with it, Foo hopes to raise awareness among students of what they might be doing wrong, to encourage them to change and to show love and consideration for one another.
The volumes collectively discuss 130 examples of bullying patterns, and are each divided into five sections: Physical Bullying, Verbal Bullying, Emotional Bullying, Disability, and Cyber Bullying. Each chapter highlights a bullying incident through quips or short sentences, and each volume has been designed and formatted to include:
-
Discussion questions
-
Activities for students
-
Peer-to-peer assessment
-
Parents' assessment checklist
-
Teachers' assessment checklist
Gracious Students in School was Foo’s third book, and it was very well received by students and teachers. Not happy to rest on his laurels, he felt compelled to tackle the problem of bullying in schools. This is in line with his concern for the general welfare of Singapore’s society, and in his efforts to make ‘graciousness’ an integral part of it.
