great idea for first day of the year activities to engage all learners.

Great first comment: Parents have the responsibility to monitor and guide children and teenagers. Of course kids will object. How many of us thought our parents were right when they tried to limit what we wanted to do? We must be wise enough as parents to know best and strong enough to stand up to the kids' anger. Bullies are not all the same, but their patterns of behavior, their tactics, are the same. That's why we can find ways to stop most of them. Sometimes, fighting is the key to success. If we don't stop bullies, they'll think we're easy prey. Like sharks, they'll just go after us more.

Start with the idea and apply the tool. If you start with the tool first…you have a lesser chance of effecting learning. This happens to me quite often. A teacher will come to me and say "I want to blog." OK, that's great, but why? What are you thinking? Why do you want to blog? What do you know about a blog?
