Written by Anne McIlroy for the Seattle Times on March 17, 2010

They lurk in hallways, bathrooms, around the next blind corner. But for the children they have routinely teased or tormented, bullies effectively live in the victims’ brains as well — and not just as a terrifying memory.

Preliminary evidence shows that bullying can produce signs of stress, cognitive deficits and mental-health problems.

Now University of Ottawa psychologist Tracy Vaillancourt and her colleagues at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario plan to scan the brains of teens who have been regularly humiliated and ostracized by their peers to look for structural differences compared with other children.

“We know there is a functional difference. We know their brains are acting differently, but we don’t know if it is structural as well,”said Vaillancourt, an expert in the biology of bullying.

She says she hopes her work will legitimize the plight of children who are bullied, and encourage parents, teachers and school boards to take the problem more seriously.

Vaillancourt has been following a group of 17-year-olds since they were 12. All 70 of the children were routinely bullied during those years — teased, harassed, threatened or excluded.

Physical violence is relatively rare, she says, because their tormentors are smart enough to know it will get them into trouble.

“For many of these kids, every day is a nightmare,”she said. They go to school and no one will talk to them. Someone deliberately bumps into them in the hallway, and all the other children laugh. They get called horrible names.

The researchers will start with brain scans of 15 of the extreme cases, like the child who stood in her gym uniform while other kids put her school clothes in the toilet and urinated on them.

There are also teenagers in the study who have been bullied for five straight school years.

The scientists have already shown that children who are bullied are more likely than other kids to have cognitive deficits.

They score lower on tests that measure verbal memory and executive function, a set of skills needed to focus on a task and get the job done. Mental-health problems, such as depression, are also more common.

Vaillancourt suspects they will also have a smaller hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in memory. Depression has been shown to be related to a smaller hippocampus. As well, animal studies have shown that chronic high levels of stress can kill brain cells. Vaillancourt says this kind of damage may help explain why children who are bullied often perform poorly academically.

She will also be looking for a smaller prefrontal cortex, which plays a role in being able to pay attention and other executive functions.

These kinds of differences have been documented in functional magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, studies of children who have been neglected or abused. Vaillancourt suspects the chronic stress of being bullied will have a similar impact.

She and her colleagues have already published research showing that boys who are bullied tend to produce more of the stress hormone cortisol. It is as if their system is in permanent overdrive.

It’s the opposite for the girls; they tend to produce less cortisol than average, as though their stress response system is overly subdued.

“At some point, their brains stop reacting,”said Vaillancourt, who holds a Canada Research Chair in children’s mental health and violence prevention.

These changes to the brain’s stress response system may be linked to the higher rates of depression among children who are regularly picked on by their peers, especially girls. The adolescent years are when peer relations are most important and when girls, more than anything, want to belong, Vaillancourt says.

Fall report cards in Ontario just got a makeover - progress is in, letter grades are out and teachers are being invited to compose their own comments.

The makeover is the culmination of a pilot project launched by the Ministry of Education two years ago that saw 19 different report designs tested at a handful of school boards across the province.

Templates of the new report cards were sent to Ontario school boards on Monday, and will be coming home with children in the fall of 2010.

They come with instructions that teachers should be allowed to choose between composing their own comments or using prefabricated ones from pull-down menus. In the past, canned comments have drawn the ire of parents because they’re impersonal and often laden with technical jargon.

“Teachers like using their own comments,” said Toronto District School Board trustee Howard Goodman, who recently shepherded an effort at his board to simplify report comments and make them more meaningful to parents.

“It looks like with the new templates the teachers have more opportunity to continue the practice of personalized comments but on a larger scale, which I think is very important,” said Karen McDonald, co-chair of the Peel District School Board’s Parent Involvement Committee. “It has been a common concern of parents that the pull-down menu comments didn’t get across anything about their child.”

Perhaps the biggest change is that the new fall report card is now called a progress report card, and it does away with letter grades. Instead students will be rated as “progressing with difficulty,” “progressing well” or “progressing very well.”

“Parents, teachers and the ministry all agreed that there might be a better way to report a student’s progress after those first few weeks of school,” said Minister of Education Leona Dombrowsky.

A common parent complaint was that there was little formal testing in the first weeks of the school year, and letter grades often didn’t provide a complete or accurate depiction of how their child was adapting to the classroom.

“The new fall progress report card emphasizes a student’s development and provides feedback to a parent on whether their child is progressing well or if they are having difficulty,” said Ms. Dombrowsky. “It will also include teacher comments about a student’s learning that are personalized, clear and meaningful.”

Early parent reaction to the new templates was positive.

Murielle Boudreau of the Greater Toronto Catholic Parent Network said the new template did a better job of explaining learning skills and work habit categories.

“It is easier to read, and to many parents, they will have a better idea of the level of work being done by students,” she said in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail.

Parents like Ms. Boudreau welcomed the option for teachers to compose their own comments, but it remains to be seen whether teachers will take advantage of it.

“Teachers want the list of comments,” said Doug Jolliffe, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation.

He said that choice was always good, but that when completing dozens of report cards, list comments are often helpful.

Workshop description:

The main reason why Canadian Copyright law pertaining to internet resources is problematic is because there is no general policy. There are, however, some general guidelines and principles that teachers can abide by in order to use internet resources within the scope of copyright law.

The goal of this workshop is to teach users general principles such as “Terms of Usage”, “Open-Access”, “Creative Commons Licenses” and “Public Domain” materials and how each applies to the use of online resources within the scope of copyright policy.

This workshop is to complement and add to the knowledge that you gained through the Access Copyright talk that you attended in January.

To sign up for the workshop, please e-mail Mark Mueller (mmueller@tyndale.ca) or sign the workshop registration sheet in the green duo-tang at the Education Library Circulation Desk.

Please note: the content of this workshop is for informational purposes only and should not be used to substitute the advice of a copyright lawer.
