Pri 1 child attacked by 5 classmates

3Boys:
I actually find the hardline views here fairly disturbing.
Which views are disturbing than the bullying?
:? :? :? -
3Boys:
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.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. -
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.

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.
