WALTHAM — Instead of heading to their first class yesterday to learn arithmetic or reading skills, Fitzgerald School students picked up valuable lessons on identifying types of bullying, and the difference between “tattling” and “good telling,” said Superintendent Peter Azar.
“It went very well. Kids learned what the major types of bullying are: Dirty looks, cyberbullying” and making threats for example, Azar said.
The anti-bullying effort follows police filing of charges earlier this month against an 11-year-old Fitzgerald girl for allegedly assaulting students with her foot, a locker door and scissors.
