The chairs should be filled with those who will be in the discussion except for one empty chair. So, for example, if twelve individuals will be part of the discussion, then thirteen chairs should be arranged in the circle. All of those not participating in the discussion surround the center circle either sitting or standing. An identified moderator teacher facilitates the conversation.
The empty chair thus allows any number of individuals not placed in the center circle to join the discussion as the conversation proceeds. It is important that those sitting in the empty chair only make statements and not ask questions. The reason for this is to insure that the evolving conversation is not redirected by asking the participants in the center circle a question that would change the essential content of the existing discussion.
If the fish bowl model is going to be used during a class period lasting approximately an hour, in general, about four to five questions can be posed. Thus, four to five different core groups of discussants can be accommodated, always allowing for the inclusion of other individuals from the audience as they wish to join, and then leave the center circle. She expected the teacher to talk about a time-out chair, or some retributive punishment that would be handed out if Peter was again taunted by the in crowd.
Lacy blinked at her. When his food gets knocked on the floor, he should reciprocate? I can tell you what you want to hear. I can say that Peter is a wonderful child, which he is. He was staring in a way that cut her to the quick. Josie shivered. Can high school ever break down the barriers so that each and every student feels a part of the school? Peter leaned against a floor mat that had been strung on the wall, like the inside of an insane asylum.
A rubber room, where all hell could break loose. I wonder if anyone works any harder at anything than kids do at being popular. So how do you crack that inner sanctum? Selena sat down with the principal of Sterling High in his modified elementary school office. He reminded Selena of one of those freaky talking bears that had come onto the market when she was a kid — Teddy Ruxpin — which made it all the more strange when he started answering her questions about anti-bullying policies at the high school.
McAllister stood up and pulled a file out of a cabinet. He began to leaf through it, and then stopped at a page. He was put into detention for fighting in the halls. Josie already knew the answer. You were safe only as long as you hid your trust — at any moment someone might make you the laughingstock, because then they knew no one was laughing at them.
Patrick felt his hands curl into fists. He knew, from interviewing hundreds of kids, that Drew Girard had stuffed Peter Houghton into lockers; had tripped him while he was walking down the stairs; had thrown spitballs into his hair.
None of that condoned what Peter had done…but still. There was a kid rotting in jail; there were ten people decomposing in graves; there were dozens in rehab and corrective surgery; there were hundreds — like Josie — who still could not get through the day without bursting into tears; there were parents — like Alex — who trusted Diana to get justices done on their behalf.
And this little asshole was lying through his teeth. Diana looked up from her notes and stared at Drew. Drew glanced at Patrick and swallowed. Then he opened his mouth and started to speak. Like that. I got creamed for being a tattletale. Lacy had known Josie as a newborn, but also as a little girl and as a playmate for Peter. Because of this, there had been a point where she had viscerally hated Josie in a way that even Peter never seemed to, for being cruel enough to leave her son behind.
Talk about any time you have been a witness to the teasing of others. How did you feel? What did you do? Being unpopular was a communicable disease. Josie could remember Peter in elementary school, fashioning the tinfoil from his lunch sandwich into a beanie with antennae, and wearing it around the playground to try to pick up radio transmissions from aliens.
He never had. She had a sudden flash of him standing in the cafeteria, a statue with his hands trying to cover his groin, his pants pooled around his ankles. What responsibility do you have to a student who has difficulty being integrated into the social fabric of the school? Does that student have a responsibility to try to fit in? The correctional officers were just like the teachers — their job was to keep everyone in place, to feed them, and to make sure nobody got seriously hurt.
Beyond that, you were left to your own devices. And like school, jail was an artificial society, with its own hierarchy and rules. And as with high school, the only way to get through jail was to stick it out and do your time. Students are free to make choices in school. What choices do you have to help peers who struggle?
When I was little I used to pour salt on slugs. I like watching them dissolve before my eyes. Jordan glanced at the jury and let that statement sink in for a moment. He lit a pipe bomb in a car before going into the school, to serve as a diversion so that he could enter unimpeded with his guns. He concealed weapons that were preloaded.
He targeted areas in the school where he himself had been victimized. He probably thinks of killing himself. He escapes into a fantasy world, where he can call the shots. However, he starts retreating there so often that it gets harder and harder to separate that from reality. During the actual incidents of bullying, a child with PTSD might retreat into an altered state of consciousness — a dissociation from reality to keep him from feeling pain or humiliation while the incident occurs.
How does it feel to be hurt socially at school? Rejected, made fun of, laughed at or pushed around? He was sensitive. Adolescence is about fitting in, not standing out. But a big part of it, too, is the society that created both Peter and those bullies.
What do these codes allow you to do? Your peers who do not fit in socially and stand out…Do you have any responsibility to them? Is being mean or cruel the same thing as bullying? What difference does it make what it is called? How often and what do they do to manage it? I told him that he was amazing and compassionate and kind and smart, all the things we want adults to be.
Is it enough for parents to tell their children to ignore the hurt and rejection? Does it make a difference? Do peers? Once, I helped some kids play a practical joke on a teacher by moving his car from the parking lot into the gym….
Every kid in this school played a role: jock, brain, beauty, freak. And I hated him. Some of us just do a better job of hiding it. Is your identity determined by whom you hang with? What impact is there socially for choosing to be with some peers over others? Toggle navigation. Read an excerpt. Book club questions ».

Josie shot him because he had given her a life of control and regret because of decisions she made with him. After she did this, she felt bad, but she only did it because of the type of boyfriend he was.
She screamed for Peter to do something, so Peter shot Matt to kill him. The article states that he is now dean of students at Harvard Law School and is running for district attorney.
