I certainly hope that's enough and new awareness of the problem of bullying is leading to better training that previous generations of teachers lacked. I keep wondering if it will make up for the kind of gut instinct and empathy gained through personal experience, but obviously I'm not saying it's a requirement for teachers to have been bullied in order for them to intervene effectively. I just hope the instruction is effective and we'll see some changes in the way bullying is handled--or too often, not handled--in schools.
