It can be due to the fact, that parents don´t have enough time for children at the present time and don´t also pay them enough attention. They learned about the bullying problem from other sources and they began more interested in communication with children after discovering of problems. They argue for opinion, that family don´t have an impact on bullying and they suppose the main reason is the temperament of the child.

Situation survey of traffic education at primary school
MATUCHOVÁ, Eva
The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the problem of children´s presence in traffic, to explore the state of traffic education on basic schools and to show children´s knowledge. The introductory part of my thesis shows, that the accidents statistics are getting better, but there is still a place for their improvement. My surveys on basic schools also show that. Some basic schools even don´t have traffic education at all or only in a limited range. The thesis describes the state of traffic education from the Framework Education Programme for Elementary Education view. Traffic education doesn´t have big integration there these days. It´s only on the teachers, how they interpret the meaning of the requirements in individual subjects. So schools don´t have to take a big care about traffic education. Fortunately there will be a change in Framework Education Programme in the future. The traffic education will have more important role there. On the basis of the Framework Education Programme I have suggested some possibilities, how to integrate the traffic education in current school subjects. The survey among selected students of Teacher Training for Primary Schools also takes part. I wanted to explore, what is the students´ opinion about traffic education and show their preparedness for its teaching.
