Question and options
The school principal has received complaints from parents about bullying in the school yard during recess. He wants to investigate and end this situation as soon as possible, so he has asked the recess aides to watch closely. Which situation should the recess aides report to the principal?
- A girl is sitting glumly on a bench reading a book and not interacting with her peers.
- Four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack.
- Two boys are playing a one-on-one game of basketball and are arguing over the last basket scored.
- Three boys are huddled over a handheld video game, which isn't supposed to be on school grounds.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack.
Bullying involves intimidation or aggression towards a victim. Four girls surrounding another girl and holding her backpack is a likely bullying situation. A girl sitting alone, a basketball argument, or a banned video game are not bullying.
