I tried so hard to give him strategies to help it stop, but it only seems to make things worse. I have gone to the principle on several occasions, but it hasn’t helped. It’s devestating to watch him suffer and have no control over the situation except assure him that it all truly doesn’t matter.
Go straight past the school and right to the board. The schools “zero tolerance” policy is merely an attempt to save face. The louder the case you make the more they will listen to you. And I know you’re not going to like this Jenny but most of the time all the bully needs is a jab right in the nose, to shut them right up. All these strategies we teach children about ignoring them and walking away typically don’t work. The school has to care enough to take it seriously. But I assure you when they don’t the board doesn’t like it!
No. Violence is NOT a solution.
Immediate expulsion of the perpetrators is the solution but this is an impossibilty in public schools as is anything else that makes sense. Anything goes in these places and public schools should be completely boycotted in my opinion.
If this is the case in public schools in your area @newmeadow , then what is a non-violent solution? If children here engage in verbal assaults, they are placed on probation which is lodged with the local police. These are Public Schools in CA.
Really I don't know. The videos that students take of other students acting like feral jackals towards teachers and students alike in public schools all over the U.S. is epic. Although I think You Tube censors these videos now.
I'm not a parent though and I don't know about the current disciplinary climate in the public schools in my area.
But I do live within a ten mile radius of where I was born
and raised.
I'm sure it's infinitely more permissive in every way, based on the gratuitous use of profane and vulgar language minors use loudly in public and pretty much everywhere they go. That *kitten* used to get us kicked out of class but I doubt that would fly today. The classrooms would be empty.
I have actually been sent those viral vids. Live beatdowns oftentimes boy related. At least the vids sent to me were. The publicity is highly likely the reason our public schools are so averse to bullying and violence, at the local government level, yet in these parts, the poorer you are, the more likely the child is to get picked on. Wrong shoes. No iPhone. Wardrobe bought from the wrong store. I have noticed that children in LA are less picky about frivolities. Meangirl behavior from people who don't earn a cent.
True. I moved a lot growing up and went to way too many schools.
When I went to schools in the low income districts the bullying was more physically violent. Like you said, it was usually girls fighting over boys or other matters pertaining to envy. Also it was predominantly racially motivated. The whites, girls especially, were physically brutalized and constantly threatened and it's something I'll never forget.
In the higher income schools I went to, the bullying was psychologically ruthless and equally distributed to both boy and girl victims. The smug attitude of superiority by which this abuse was delivered by the perps was also something I'll never forget. The bullying wasn't racially motivated at the higher income schools as the districts were homogeneous and not multicultural.
I would have to agree with your recall assessmeant @newmeadow , as it reflects mine, with the exception of a non-coed private school. I found psychological mind games just as brutal as actual physical onslaughts between students. This monotonous bullying cycle keeps morphing much like movie franchises. Just when you think that a low has been reached, a newer low is established and redefined.
I for one disagree with media censorship, as it muzzles the innocent. Filters protect the innocent inasmuch as it hibernates the guiltridden.2 -
