Furthermore, whole school interventions were considered to be popular as suggested by theorists like Erling Roland and Dan Olweus, and this action research project was only used at the classroom level. The action researcher would have liked to cooperate with other teachers and parents to implement a whole school intervention to see whether bullying occurrences would decrease among the older grades. The action researcher found that character education was successful in improving classroom environment, and would like to implement a similar intervention with older students to see whether it would improve empathy and peer on peer
