Source text - English Bullying Law Puts New Jersey Schools on Spot
By WINNIE HU
Published: August 30, 2011
Under a new state law in New Jersey, lunch-line bullies in the East Hanover schools can be reported to the police by their classmates this fall through anonymous tips to the Crimestoppers hot line.
In Elizabeth, children, including kindergartners, will spend six class periods learning, among other things, the difference between telling and tattling.
And at North Hunterdon High School, students will be told that there is no such thing as an innocent bystander when it comes to bullying: if they see it, they have a responsibility to try to stop it.
But while many parents and educators welcome the efforts to curb bullying both on campus and online, some superintendents and school board members across New Jersey say the new law, which takes effect Sept. 1, reaches much too far, and complain that they have been given no additional resources to meet its mandates.
The law, known as the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights, is considered the toughest legislation in the nation against bullying.
Propelled by public outcry over the suicide of a Rutgers University freshman, Tyler Clementi, nearly a year ago, it demands that all public schools adopt comprehensive antibullying policies (there are 18 pages of “required components”), increase staff training and adhere to tight deadlines for reporting episodes.
Each school must designate an antibullying specialist to investigate complaints; each district must, in turn, have an antibullying coordinator; and the State Education Department will evaluate every effort, posting grades on its Web site. Superintendents said that educators who failed to comply could lose their licenses.
“I think this has gone well overboard,” Richard G. Bozza, executive director of the New Jersey Association of School Administrators, said. “Now we have to police the community 24 hours a day. Where are the people and the resources to do this?”
But Dr. Dolan cautioned that an unintended consequence of the new law could be that students, or their parents, will find it easier to label minor squabbles bullying than to find ways to work out their differences.
“Kids have to learn to deal with conflict,” she said. “What a shame if they don’t know how to effectively interact with their peers when they have a disagreement.”
Translation - Spanish Ley antiacoso pone a las escuelas de Jersey en el punto de mira

Publicado el 30 de agosto de 2011
Este otoño, bajo una nueva ley estatal en Nueva Jersey, los acosadores de las escuelas del este de Hanover pueden ser denunciados a la policía por sus compañeros, mediante llamadas anónimas a la línea directa del crimen.
En Elizabeth, de agosto de cluidos los de educación preescolar, pasarán seis clases aprendiendo, entre otras cosas, la diferencia entre «decir» y «delatar».
Además en la escuela superior de North Hunterdon, a los estudiantes se les explica que no existen los espectadores cuando se trata de acoso escolar: si presencian un caso tienen la responsabilidad de intentar pararlo.
Mientras que muchos padres y educadores reciben de buen grado los esfuerzos para frenar el acoso escolar, tanto en los centros escolares como a través de internet, algunos directores y miembros de consejos escolares de Nueva Jersey opinan que la nueva ley —que entra en vigor el primero de septiembre— va demasiado lejos, y se quejan de que no se les han proporcionado recursos adicionales para cumplir con los mandatos.
La ley, conocida como el Proyecto de Ley Contra la Intimidación de los Derechos, está considerada como la más dura de la nación para hacer frente al acoso escolar.
Lanzada como una protesta pública por el suicidio hace casi un año de Tyler Clementi —un estudiante de primer año de la Universidad de Rutgers—, reclama que todas las escuelas públicas adopten medidas contra la intimidación escolar (hay dieciocho páginas sobre las «medidas necesarias»), el aumento en la formación del personal y la adhesión a estrictas fechas límite en la denuncia de los casos.
Cada escuela debe designar a un especialista para investigar las reclamaciones de acoso escolar, y cada distrito debe contar con un coordinador antiacoso. Por su parte, el State Education Department (Departamento de Educación de Nueva Jersey) evaluará cada esfuerzo y publicará las calificaciones en su página web. Además, los directores escolares anunciaron que los educadores que no cumplieran con lo exigido podrían perder su licencia.
«Creo que todo esto se ha exagerado mucho», dijo Richard G. Bozza, director ejecutivo de la Asociación de Administradores Escolares de Nueva Jersey. «Ahora la policía debe patrullar la comunidad las veinticuatro horas del día. ¿Pero dónde están los recursos humanos y materiales para realizar esto?».
Dr. Dolan advirtió que una consecuencia no intencionada de la ley podría ser que a los estudiantes, o a sus padres, les resultase más fácil etiquetar pequeñas riñas como ‘acoso’ que buscar maneras para solucionar sus diferencias.
«Los niños tienen que aprender a lidiar con los conflictos», dijo. «Sería una pena que no fueran capaces de interactuar eficazmente con sus compañeros cuando tengan un desacuerdo»
