Colorado Elementary School Has Controversial Bullying Solution
It seems that bullying is on the rise, especially because of the increase of cyberbullying incidents.
One elementary school in Colorado, James Madison Charter Academy, has a creative way to put kids in the shoes of those kids who are bullied, but not everyone is happy about it.
Some students in grades 4-6 have been randomly selected to wear a sticker on their collar, which means other students are told to ignore them. The school says this will help kids understand what it's like to be bullied and ignored. One parent says that this has made her child feel even worse at school, because he has been bullied in the past.
Do you agree or disagree with this idea?

I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because kids who get bullied just accept that they wont get bullied so they still make people feel bad, so now they’ll get to feel how there victims feel.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because... kids should be able to talk to there friends and in class and not be ignored. I feel the school id harassing the kids because it sounds like they are bulling the kids.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it will make them feel bad. The students feelings could be hurt and if they were bullied before they would feel ever worse. It would also make me sad because of the things that happen in this world anyway. I don’t think this system is a good idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it makes them feel bad. The students may be being bullies and it may make them fell worse. It would make me fell very bad. I think they should no longer use this system.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because it teaches kids at a young not to bully anyone. Kids that bully can feel how it feels to get bullied. At any time a teacher can put a sticker on a kid that kid has to but ignored all day. It teaches kids to be caring and kind!
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because some kids are bullied like I am left out of a group and teased about what I wear isn’t cool and then have a day be bullied by classmates is just to much. I mean for one day being ignored by everyone? Who can stand being left out of a group and feel like a total outcast I mean this with my heart and know the pain. For those who bully do you really have the time to harass kids all the time? Get real and get a life!
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because I think putting a sticker on someone to exclude them from everyone for the day isn’t going to help you get what it feels like to be bullied. I think that because when you excluded on purpose, you would still get bullied, like made fun of. With this approach, the other students can’t bully the ones with the yellow sticker, so they don’t get the full feel of being bullied, they just don’t get talked to. To me, that doesn’t make sense.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because kids who bully get to see how it feels to be bullied and would probably stop bullying. The bullies get to see how their victims feel when they bully them. At anytime a teacher would put a yellow sticker on a kid’s collar and the children would have to ignore him/her all school day. This teaches children what it feels like to be bullied and they wouldn’t treat another kid like that.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it could make kids feel bad. In the video, the student said he didn’t like it. Some kids that are already being bullied could be really sad after that experience. And at lunch or recess, kids could talk and play with the kid being shunned.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a HORRIBLE idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because nobody should ever go through being bullied, or in this case “shunned”, even if it’s a “school experiment”. What if kids at James Madison Charter Academy already have been bullied and are sick of it. They would be really upset. I know I would. Another reason I think it’s a horrible idea is because the parents are furious! If I was a mom, I would keep my kids home fore a week. Just to keep them from the horrible torture of being shunned. I really think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a HORRIBLE idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because I think it will help kids not bully each other. Getting ignored will show kids it’s not nice to bully and by doing this kids won’t get in trouble. I think kids should only get a sticker if they bully somebody else. This is a really good idea to do for kids to know it’s wrong to bully.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because if it was the teachers being “shunned” they wouldn’t like it very much. What if a child was already being bullied and they are going to also be bullied by teachers now they are just making it worse for these children. What if bullies don’t even get picked that doesn’t do anything for other kids. What happens to sensitive kids, they go home and probably cry at night? There is purpose behind this but they are not doing it right they are just making the bullying situation worse by doing this!!
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because some children are already being bullied and it may make things worse for them. It’s not fair to the kids that have already experienced bullying. Also some kids are more sensitive than others and could be offended by being ignored. It could also lead to kids not wanting to be friends with one another. Schools should try to eliminate bullying but there are better ways to do that than purposely having children being ignored.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it doesn’t really teach kids how it feels to be bullied. A kid at James Madison Charter Academy School said that he did not like it; he was already being bullied in school so he already knew what it felt like to be bullied in school. Also the mother of the child said that she thought it was a good idea to teach kids about bulling, but she thought it was also ridiculous that kids were getting shunned in school. I think that it is a horrible idea because school is supposed to be fun but they are making it depressing to the kids with the sticker on their collar. This idea should be discontinued at James Madison Charter Academy School it is not helping kids it is just making them feel bad and depressed.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because this exercise can be hurtful and ineffective. This exercise can really hurt a lot of student who get pick to wear a sticker; it can make them feel unappreciated. Making students feel this way, I think is useless because I really don’t think it will help. I think, when this exercise is going on it is approving bulling for some students which can become a habit.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because this will make the kids feel left out and bullied. This will also make problems worse because the children will have no self-esteem. With no self-esteem the kids will not socialize with other kids and because of that they will have no friends. With no friends they will get picked on even more. Another way I think this isn’t a good idea is the younger kids may think its ok to ignore other children. Some kids might not understand the process and think its bullying. If they think its bulling they might feel like they are not worth anything or something like that. That is why I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because kids who have already been bullied have to go though it again. Its most likely traumatizing to these kids, having to go though this kind of exclusion from everyone in the school. They’re in elementary school so having nobody to play with at recess and sit with at lunch must be really hard for kids who have had friends are forced to ignore them. A child had already been bullied and had to go though it all over again. Nobody should have to go though this kind of trauma. Madison Charter Academy should find a less humiliating but effective solution for bullying.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it’s still bullying if you are being ignored. Also I think that you aren’t really seeing what it is like if your being bullied. You are also still bullying like I said, and that won’t get rid of it, I just think that you are still teaching kids to pick on other kids and encourage them. And that if those kids with the stickers on, if they don’t bully anyone, cause they are a nice person, they are going to think that its rude and just plain old mean. It’s just going to make it worse for everyone.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because it helps you learn how people being bullied feel. “They will have more insight into things that they might be doing to others that they don’t realize that they’re doing,” says the principle. I agree with that statement because she is trying to show the kids how it feels being bullied. She is trying to show the kids the pain and suffering the kids get when they are bullied, so they don’t become bullies.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because kids should know about bullying. Also they should know not to do it. I think this way is wrong though. Kids might be already neglected at school or home. It’s not fair to those kids who have already been bullied. I agree with the mother of one of the kid who was involved in this.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because the bullies can learn how to become nicer to other kids. “They will have more insight into things that they might be doing to others that they don’t realize that they’re doing,” say the principle. The principle also said that “putting the students in a situation where they can experience what it’s like to be left out.” I agree with the principle because student should be able to learn and get along with other kids without getting bullied.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because if a kid is being bulled or has been bullied in the past then it might make them a bully. A mother said “They’ve got a good heart behind it; it’s just being approached in a very misguided way”. If kids saw it happening a lot they might end up thinking that bulling is normal. When a student has to do this it could make them have bad thoughts or actions about things.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because it can show them how bad it feels and how it makes others feel to be bullied. I also feel that it is a bad idea because it can make highly emotional kids cry and make them feel sad. If kids are already bullied in school and are picked it is unfair and makes them feel like an “outsider”. To me it is a good idea and a bad idea at the same time.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because no one would like to be treated like that. I also think the principle has no right to treat kids like this any time of the kid’s lives. I agree with mark’s mother about treating children like this. I would not put any kids in this school.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because kids shall not have to be bullied if they have a sticker. They should talk about bullying but not express it in that kind of way. The anti bullying idea makes people sad for people who are already bullied will feel even worse about himself. Parents are mad that their kids are feeling bad about themselves. I agree the anti bullying program is harsh for kids and they shouldn’t feel like this
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it makes the kids that are picked cant talk to anyone or play with anyone for a day. The anti bullying program makes them fell bad about them self. It does teach them what bullying feels like but it doesn’t teach them to stop. The program should stop because really it is bullying kids.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because kids that bully should have a more severe consequence than just to be shunned. The kids that were bulled were not just shunned they were hurt mentally. I think a better way of punishment is to have the bully be suspended or if the bullying got very bad than to be expelled. If the bulling is not very bad than I think the bully should apologies to the victim and get detention for what he or she did. Bullying is a serious matter and should be handled well
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because some kids have been bullied before so they might not want to go to school just to be ignored. Also how can they learn when being ignored? How can they make friends if they are being ignored? Also some children are very sensitive and do not understand. What if a kid is being bullied and, his best friend is ignoring him? I think it is a bad idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because it can show bullies what its like to be bullied. Bullies will know what they are doing and how it feels to be bullied. I think it’s great that a school is actually trying to stop bullying unlike some schools. I think this is a great idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because now the kids know what bullying feels like to the kids that are bullied. Maybe after this experience the kids will not bully other kids.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because if kids are being ignored it will make the kids feel sad and depressed. Also the teachers could be in on it to and not call on them or give them help. I also don’t like that everyone doesn’t even look at you really. This is why I think this is a horrible idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it will make the people who are already bullied feel even worse about themselves. They will feel alone. It will not help others feel bad. It should only have stickers on people who bully and maybe bystanders.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it is not the right way to learn about bullying. It is not nice for anyone to listen to you. There are other ways to learn about bullying but not this way. This is a wrong way to learn about bullying. Some adults might not like this way for kids to put stickers on kid’s collar and be not notice.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because their system end up hurting the kids feelings or instead of discouraging bullying the kids could end up harassing the kids with the stickers.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it gives children the wrong idea about bullying. They could get the idea that you put a label (sticker) on somebody and it’s ok to ignore them. Also kids might not know what’s going on and think they’re being ignored by their friends on purpose. Even know teachers think there just teaching them to be nicer sometimes kids get the wrong idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it will make students feel bad about them for a whole day. Students chosen for the day can’t play with any body or talk to anybody for the whole day. I think that that is unnecessary. Also, if a student has already been bullied and knows what it feels like then they have to put up with a long day of being ignored for know reason. Lastly the majority of kids probably don’t even want to go through a day being ignored.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because some people have never bullied someone before so it wouldn’t be fare to get bullied if you have never bullied any before. Also it’s very hard too go through a whole day with no one talking to you and getting ignored by everyone in school. If I went to that school I would stand up for this horrible idea. I do believe that everyone should learn about bullying but not in this type of way. The kids are not the ones bullying in this situation it’s really the principal.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because in the video they said that kids were not being bullied but they actually are, kids are being bullied by being ignored. The teachers including the principal think that it is a good idea to do that because they think they are showing kids what bulling really is, and kids do not like it at all, imagine you not being able to talk or play with other kids. Teachers are putting stickers on kids collars thinking that it’s a good idea and parents are getting upset. I hope this does not effect other school because I don’t think that other kids will like that. Also I wouldn’t want to have to wear a ridicules sticker on my collar, its like being treated like a dog with dog tags on their collar. That is why I think that James Madison Charter’s idea is a bad one.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because if they put the sticker on the people who already are bullied, it makes them hurt more. They would feel like that because they would think that because it looks like the school is now bullying them now. They should only do it to the kids that bully other kids. That is why I think that the sticker thing is a bad idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because if a kid is already getting bullied they have to go through it again. Also if some kids best friend has to ignore their best friend it might be really hard for them to that. While you’re outside you can’t play with anyone. You’re just there alone. I think it’s a really bad idea to leave kids out. Some kids know its not real life bullying but some might not get it the same as others.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because if a bully gets a sticker, then the bully will know how it feels to get bullied instead of being the bully. Bullies need to learn that bullying is wrong and they shouldn’t do it. If the bullies get the sticker they know how it feels to have no one speak to you or play with you all day. I think this idea is a good idea because it teaches bullies a lesson or 2!
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it is not preventing bullying. Everyone who is ignoring the other kids with stickers is bullying them too. I do not think the officials at the school can remember the code of conduct, or do they know that they too are bullying kids. Unless they have entirely different rules than the state of New York I think it is a horrible idea.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because students might already be bullied. They might feel even more left out and upset. It also could encourage them to bully other students. Also this allows the bullies an advantage to get even more targets if the student has a sticker.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because kids who are already experienced bullying are being forced to be bullied even more. The feeling of being bullied is already bad enough, and the teachers making them be ignored just ruins the experience of school for them. The kids at that school don’t need harassment in their lives. They need encouragement.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because if people know how it feels to be bullied then the people who get the stickers won’t want other kids to feel the pain they got because they were shunned. Bullies will then know it feels to be bullied. When bullies know how it feels to be bullied then the bullies won’t bully.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because students are already getting bullied and the school doesn’t need to do it too. I know how it feels to get ignored and it isn’t fun. Students should pay attention to school and getting good grades. Studies show that when kids are unhappy with their friends and social life, they seem to get lower grades. If that was happening to me, then I would be very unhappy with the school and how they treated me. I wouldn’t even want to step in the front door of the school if I knew I was going to get ignored all day. All because of a little sticker I know children in James Madison Charter Academy are getting ignored. They didn’t even do anything wrong and are getting punished for...nothing. A little sience experiment? This idea might work for some but not in my opinion.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because people that already are being bullied could get stickered; they are even more isolated than before. Just because you get stickered doesn’t mean you should be shunned by your friends. The feeling of being bullied is bad enough for kids, they don’t need add to the pain. The experience of school is getting ruined for kids with this “experiment”.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because many students may have already endured the painful experience of rejection and being ignored. Also, if some students don’t have stickers on their collars, then the students that do have stickers on their collars may be able to bully them and the students are not able to react to them because of the program. Therefore, I believe that this program is wrong and should be shut down for the sake of the students in Madison Charter Academy.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it proves to show that others even teachers can also bully kids or adults too and students are already being bullied, and the school does not need to do it too! I personally believe that they should put it only on the kids who bully others to show how it to be bullied, because if you do it that way then the kids who don’t bully others should not feel how it is to be bullied and they get something they do not deserve. So I believe that they should watch to see others and see if they get bullied then get the person who bullied them should have to wear the sticker and get shunned. So it is like saying that the kid who did not bully others then they should receive the punishment though they did not do anything. There are also way it could be good like if the person who did the bulling should receive the punishment. Also others should not have to worry about what is happening and they should participate in something with other kids and join the crew. That is why I believe that others should not be shunned in my own opinion.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because children have no choice whether or not to participate. Children who will never be bullied otherwise are being forced to be “shunned” for a whole day. My whole 4th and 5th grade experience I have never been bullied or witnessed bullying and bullying is not a problem in those grades as much as it is a problem in middle school and high school. Some children may forget their experience and if they do then they will probably forget it by the time that they are in high school. Therefore, this is a bad idea because children that will never otherwise participate in bullying are being forced to participate.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because they will realize what they are actually doing to hurt people. For example, if someone purposefully ignores someone else, it will make the victim feel very bad about who they are, like no one wants to listen to what they want to say. The kids with the stickers will realize how hurtful it is to ignore others, and the method will hopefully keep them from bullying other kids by paying no attention to them. It will most likely keep the Academy a bully-free zone with kids and staff being friendly to each other all day. In conclusion, I propose that James Madison Charter Academy's uncommon method for anti-bullying was a beneficial idea for their students.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because it can hurt people that are already being bullied and it can remind them how bad they felt. Also when the kids are bullied they can do some bad things like suicide. Some kids that are already bullies might see how fun it is to bully people so they would get the wrong idea and keep bulling people. If they keep bulling people then a lot more people in school will get into fights and arguments. Then a lot more people would get hurt.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because there is other ways of telling people that they bulling other people. The mom is right because putting sticker on people that it is like bulling. The ways of treating other people when they bully other people is to give them more home work or talk to their parents, because making them not talk to other people or to their friends is not fair. So that is why they should not make other people wear sticker because it is not right.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because yes, kids do feel like they are being bullied, but sometimes that is bad. Some of the kids that are wearing the sticker have or are being bullied, so there feelings are softer. Also, the people who are not wearing the sticker might not follow the rules, and torment the person who is wearing the sticker, which will make a bad experience even worse. Lastly, the people who are wearing the sticker might be used to being the center of attention, so not being involved might make them feel bad.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because it is a good lesson to the students. Say if there was a bully in the class and was someone without out a sticker that would show them how it feels to get bullied. They probably wouldn’t like it very much. This is why the teachers have a good idea to solve bullying.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because I think it might be teaching kids to bully. They take one kid at a time and tell other kids to ignore him or her for a week; it could give kids the idea to bully. Plus if you were the kid with sticker on you would loose all your friends for a week, sit alone at lunch, have no one to play with at recess, and no one to talk to. Even though the teachers and principle tell them not to tease the kids that have worn a sticker, some student is going to. The school is going to loose students because many parents are going to disagree with this idea. I might not be parent but if I had a kid I would not want my student to be the one with the sticker. You want to teach everyone not to bully but this is not the way.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because I believe that doing this experiment is just forcing bullying to happen. My reason why I think this forcing bullying because everyone is not talking is just like one person getting bullied and embarrassed to go to school. Also it’s just making the child more afraid of himself/herself of getting any friends. As a result this is why I think this experiment is not a good idea for the kids.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because if you put a pin on a kid that has not been bullied they will fell really bad. The pin could lower their self of steam. Putting that pin on a kid will not help with the kids social life.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because the bullies should feel the pain the others were going through. But I know the parents wouldn’t agree with it. The parents don’t know what their kid is doing. The kids should be punished. There should be no argument. The kids should suffer for the same amount of time.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because ignoring someone is just not helping with the whole bullying thing. People that are your friend before the bullying test can cheer you up and not put you down like bully’s. Being ignored is not what every student does, some students feel bad and want to help not make it worse.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. I think it is a good idea because it will make the person with the sticker will be depressed and bad about them self and that will show them not to bully other people. That should put those nasty people in there place.
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because some kids are already bullied. If someone accidentally gave someone a sticker that is already being bullied then it will make them feel even worse. Also, it could make people feel uncomfortable to leave people out because they might be a very kind person.

I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a bad idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a bad idea because if you have been bullied before, and you get chosen to ware the sticker, it can make you feel even worse than you normally do when you get bullied.

This experiment could make you do those things if you get picked. Instead of doing this experiment, I believe that they should try a different approach. I believe they should make bullies stay at least one hour after school and watch an educational movie on how bullying is bad and how it makes others feel, that way they get a good picture of how others feel.
