Cette semaine, j'ai trouvé d'autres sites sur le thème de
l'environnement,
et encore des sites sur le thème de la violence à l'école, des réflexions
et des réactions ( song, ribbon and pledge, quilt !) , des statistiques,
des documents bruts pour vous faire une idée de ce qui se passe en Amérique
du Nord (Canada included). Un article qui montre que ce cas extrème n'est
pas unique et que le problème est loin d'être résolu. Et parmi les éléments
positifs, un site 'Shine for teens' et un concours pour un clip vidéo
contre la violence à l'école: *** 'Shine MTV Speak your Peace Contest'. La
démarche est très pédagogique et tout à fait utilisable en classe. Si vous
faites produire des storyboards (scénarimages en français, mais c'est un
mot si laid!) à vos élèves, pensez à nous les faire partager!

Kids These Days '99: What Americans Really Think About the Next Generation -- Public
Agenda Online (The Scout Report for Social Sciences --May 18, 1999)
----------------------------------
Public Agenda -- a nonpartisan, nonprofit research organization
devoted to public opinion, policy analysis, and citizen education (see the
February 23, 1999 Scout Report for Social Sciences) -- has recently released a
report based on the findings of a national survey of American
attitudes toward children and teenagers. The 1999 report, a follow-up to
Public Agenda 's 1997 benchmark survey, concludes "that the public continues
to be disturbed by the lack of values such as honesty, civility, and
responsibility in America's youth." Key findings from the survey are
presented as graphs, tables, and charts in seven discrete sections
within the report: Negative Reactions, A Focus on Values and Respect, Putting
the Blame on Parents, Difficult Circumstances, Little Willingness to Write
off Kids, The Role of Government, and Positive Attitudes among Teens. Kids
These Days '99 is the second of five tracking surveys on America's
youth conducted by Public Agenda, with three more scheduled before 2002.

Expelling student for web-site threats lands Pennsylvania district in court
(K12 School Tech. News Update Monday, May 17)
----------------------------------
A Lehigh Valley, Penn., judge has agreed to consider a
lawsuit filed last year by the family of an eighth-grader
expelled from school for allegedly threatening a teacher
on his personal web site. The suit highlights the balancing
act schools must perform between protecting students' rights
to free speech and protecting their communities from bloodshed.
Justin Swidler, now 15, was expelled in August after
Bethlehem Area School District officials saw his web site,
in which he allegedly asked for donations to hire a hit
man to kill Nitschmann Middle School math teacher Kathleen
Fulmer. Swidler's family describes the site as an attempt
at satirical humor, not a terrorist threat.
The long-since-dismantled web site reportedly had a heading
saying "Why She Should Die" above a sentence reading, "Take a
look at the diagram and the reasons I give, then give me $20
to help pay a hit man."
"What he did was not good," said his father, Dr. Howard
Swidler, an emergency-room physician. "We don't condone that.
He was punished for what he did. But this was a home issue—not
a school issue."
The lawsuit filed by Swidler and his wife, Ilene, seeks
to have the expulsion overturned, reimbursement for private-
school tuition, and damages. A judge agreed to consider the
lawsuit May 4.
"It may have been a big joke to (the teen), but the teacher
felt that she was harmed by this threat," said Jeffrey T.
Tucker, a lawyer for the school district. "The intention is
irrelevant. It is the effect that is important."
Fulmer and her husband, Barry, are also suing the Swidlers,
claiming defamation because of Justin Swidler's remarks on the
web site about Fulmer's teaching ability.
Zero tolerance
The lawsuits come at a time when school districts are
particularly sensitive to threats of violence. In the wake
of the Littleton, Colo., school shootings, hundreds of copycat
threats at schools across the country have led many districts
to adopt "zero tolerance" policies toward threats—both on the
internet and in person.
In one of many recent examples, police in Oshkosh, Wis., have
recommended charging two teens with a misdemeanor computer
crime after they allegedly created an internet hit list of 17
students from Oshkosh West High School. And a 13-year-old Pomona,
Calif., boy was sentenced to probation and barred from most
computer use May 7 after admitting he set up an internet site
to threaten a classmate.
Bethlehem school officials maintain they acted properly last
year because the teen violated the district's code of conduct
by threatening and maligning Fulmer and principal A. Thomas
Kartsotis.
But Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said
he didn't charge the teen with making terrorist threats because
Pennsylvania law requires proof that the defendant meant to
communicate the threat to the victim. He said the web site had
a message warning employees of the school district not to
enter it.
