Just what kinds of behaviour are acceptable in our schools, or for that matter, in society in general. The sexual harassment of girls in school begins as early as the primary grades. While many explain the poor behaviour as "just a joke...boys will be boys", the self esteem and scholastic achievement of the victims erode. In this program we see how sexual harassment, both verbal and physical, is used to assert dominance over girls within the school environment. Speaking with students, parents, teachers and principals, Hana Gartner asks how such behaviour is shaped and why it is tolerated. Solutions, such as the feasibility of a home and school standard of zero tolerance, are examined. Note: Coarse language
