New report shows trends on Idaho student behavior

 

Idaho defies several national trends, according to a new report on student behavior.

The Idaho Press reports, the study shows one in four Idaho students said they were bullied on school grounds. One in five said they were bullied online.

Even that doesn’t tell the whole story. Idaho’s bullying rates increased from 2011 to 2017 — while national rates decreased.

The report also says, weapons possession rates are high, as well — depending on what you call a “weapon.” Drug and alcohol use, among Idaho students are low.
