Pri 1 child attacked by 5 classmates
-
What about
1. Counseling for both the kid and the parent/ guardian
2. Apology to the child whom they bullied
3. Some form of ways to make up for what they did-like :idea: some form of community service e.g. Taking care of the school's garden/mini zoo. think up their own project e.g. create a notice board about not bullying and calling people names (Not too sure how practical these ideas is given the school's resources though) -

Not all bullies are out of control, some may respond better to methods other than a sound thrashing. Further, I did not say to spare the rod. But if that is all we do, then we are doomed to failure.
If the kids are beyond parental control... esp at such young age... then something is very wrong... and the last thing on my mind is compassion.3Boys:
Bullying in schools have been happening since time immemorial, long before internet.
Many of the bullies have self image issues, come from broken families.
Although their behaviour cannot be condoned, just whipping them and then leaving them to their own devices is not the solution. Next thing they are at Bukit Panjang slashing passers-by.
Punishment and discipline needs to be coupled with compassion and rehab, no matter how distasteful that may be to the parents of the victims.
Spare the rod... spoil the child.
They can only get worst when older...
Besides bullies... parents should teach their kids how to deal with bullies... and be aware of what's going on in sch.
To let the tauntings escalate to become beatings... all parties are at fault. -
Can someone share with me is bullying at the younger age group worser in an all-girls or all-boys school compared to a co-ed school?
When there are mixed genders, do children learn how to tolerate better? Just a thought… -

My guess is, in a co-ed school, boys that cannot seem to form friendship with other boys can turn to girls for friendship while girls who find other groups of girls to be gossipy and or not their 'kind', can turn to boys for friendship. hence, the chances of being 'alone' is reduced and i think bullies usually don't bother those who move around in groups.

Sounds right jedamum....I am inclined to think that co-ed schools may be good for primary levels to keep the balance in place.

I think sch shd:
1) send them for counseling
2) cane on stage by discipline master, parents to attend
3) teachers to pay more attention to them -
Punishment is a must. I always believe in the rod.
If at age 7yrs already know how to beat classmates and be bullies, can’t imagine what they will do at age 18yrs.
Children are reflection of parents. Hence, what we do or talk, kids imitate us.
In my opinion, which sch they go also matters. -
My boy is in N2 and was taunted by a K2 boy. He called him names right in front of his parents but guess what, they did not stop or chide him at all!After that, he continued to do that everytime he bumped in my DS. One teacher heard it but pretended as if nothing happened. I asked my DS to feedback to another teacher. Again, no action taken. They probably felt it’s a "trivial" matter? This is one boy who will become a bully soon.
I asked my DS to ignore him and educated him that name calling is wrong. He understands and bochap him. -
Here is the news :
遭5同学围殴 小一生逃出学校
小一就面对校园暴力，7岁男生被5名同学追着围殴，吓得他跑出学校避难。母亲闻讯赶到学校，沿街哭找儿两小时。
这名被欺负的小男生汤姆（假名），就读于本地中部一所小学。他日前向《新报》记者叙述上周一下午遭同学欺负的经历时，惊魂未定。
读下午班的汤姆说，当天周会前，5名同学在集合广场用花名喊他。汤姆叫他们住口，但同学对他又捏又踢。“我想跑到二楼，我甩开打我的同学，但他们把我推倒在地上，结果我的下巴受伤。”
他起身跑到图书馆前，又被同学揍了一拳。他说，一些同学看到他被打，跑去找训育主任，但无法马上找到人。他说，他找不到级任老师，虽然尝试拨电给母亲，但学校电话似乎坏了。彷徨无助之下，他哭着跑出学校。
他的母亲丽娜（假名，36岁）说，儿子跑出学校后搭巴士回家，可是家里没人，所以他到附近警岗去。然而，当时警岗也没人，他只好走回组屋，在附近徘徊。
当兼职行销执行员的丽娜说，儿子跑出学校约一小时后，她接到校方通知说儿子缺课。她吓得马上请假到学校和学校周围找儿子。“我真的很担心，找儿子的那两个小时，我一直在哭。”
母亲透露，儿子被同学嘲笑是“白痴”。完整报道，请翻阅22.11.2010《联合晚报》。

3Boys:
hardline views are of course disturbing! :lol:I actually find the hardline views here fairly disturbing.
As more children suffer from lack of parental guidance,
and with more parents who are unable to provide proper guidance,
we can expect more disturbing news,
which will be worse than hardline views!
