ALL of the positive
character traits ALL of the time).
What are the Goals of the Buddy, Duddy and Bully
Program?
The goals of the program are to stop bullying in schools
and for each student to become a "Buddy" .
What is the feedback from schools that
have used the program?
"We watch Buddy, Duddy, and Bully each Friday morning. The kids have
memorized the
parts that remain the same, and you can hear them throughout the building
repeating them
along with the voice on the clip. The teachers tell me that they refer to
Buddy, Duddy and
Bully when they are trying to make a point or correcting inappropriate
behavior."
Carolyn Porter - Principal - Carl Junction Primary 2-3
School - Carl Junction, MO
"I questioned my students this past week
on what they had learned from Buddy. Several
mentioned they had used the “Buddy to the rescue move” when some kids were
pushing others
in line. Other students said they had learned to do the “avoid the Bully
move” when kids were
teasing them. The best one was….. one of my third grade students said
that when riding on his
bus a fourth grade student was bullying a second grader, so he did the
“buddy to the rescue”
move by going and sitting with the child." Jan Wheeless
– Guidance Counselor – Hawks Rise Elementary – Tallahassee, FL
"Our
"Be a Buddy Week" was a great success! We wrote compliments on strips of
construction
paper throughout the week and then "Linked up with Buddies" on the last
day. One day was
reading buddies day where upper grade students worked with there lower
grade "reading
buddy" classes. During this time students wrote about how to be a buddy
and what it means to
be a buddy. The school really ran with the idea and the students seem to
have responded
beyond my greatest of expectations.”
Duane Thompson – Guidance Counselor – Wesley Chapel Elementary – Monroe,
