Judy O'Connell on 13 Mar 11"It's a problem and the schools are ready to address it, yet they aren't doing so in a robust way. Why? Maybe because, and this is just conjecture, at some level the schools and teachers understand that cyberbullying does not belong in the classroom. That is, it is not solely the schools' problem. Maybe schools and teachers are hesitant to take on cyberbullying full force because they don't like the idea of pigeonholing it as an educational system problem. Maybe they recognize it as a social system problem. Maybe they understand that cyberbullying prevention and response belong in the culture-the student culture, the family culture and the social culture-not just the classroom. "
