Finland found a proven way to combat bullying. Here's what it'll take to make it work in the US


In Finland, an anti-bullying program that focuses on the whole class rather than individual bullies and victims and provides students with the space to discuss unresolved issues has been proven highly effective. Several researchers and professors in the U.S. are exploring whether the model could be translated to the American public school context. So far, concerns revolve around whether the approach could be as effective with a much more diverse population and with differences in funding and teacher buy-in.
