The end of the school year is welcomed by students and staff alike. Kids in Akron, Ohio don’t mind sleeping in, teachers in North Canton, Ohio easily look away from lesson plans, and janitors in Green, Ohio gladly go without scraping gum. But for victims of bullying, summer break comes as more of a reprieve. It gives them time away from peer abuse and, this summer, it could also give them a chance to learn how to deal with bullying. At Dale McCutcheon’s Martial Arts Academy in Uniontown, Ohio, karate class instructors teach skills that make kids bully proof. Open to all ages and available at multiple times, the classes build kids self-esteem and guide them to overcome the effects of bullying.
