Keep students away from the fear of "school bullying"

With regard to the recently discussed "campus bullying" incident, the focus of public opinion is increasingly focused on two aspects: how to identify and how to prevent it.

It is true that children also have to endure hardships and beatings. In the face of injustice and grievances, parents cannot control their children's life, but not all injuries of a nature can be brought by "joke". Educators should give clear signals, where are the boundaries of injury and joke, once the bottom line is exceeded, what disciplines and educational measures the school will give to allow students to form a correct concept. The campus injury incident is not a new problem, but now that society has developed and the perception of education methods and children's values ​​has changed, it should still be faced with a new perspective.

In any case, only sincere confrontation, effective intervention, lower body, and courteous relatives can minimize the harm of similar incidents on campus, making it a growth mentor rather than a shadow of the future.

Give a clear definition of bullying

In the past few days, there have been some new details in the incident of a child being injured in a primary school in Beijing. The school continued to insist that the children's behavior was "not bullying". At the same time, there was a view that anyone who had been bullied as a child was defined as bullying and was not necessary.

Whether it is the state ’s regulation of bullying or everyone ’s anxiety about bullying, it reflects the progress of social concepts to a certain extent. Judging whether bullying is really encountered is the prerequisite for all rescue and disposal.

For the definition of bullying on campus, there have been some explorations abroad: Whether it is to rely on strong bullying, whether to repeatedly implement it, or whether to cause harm is the key to identification. At the end of April this year, the Office of the State Council ’s Education Steering Committee had defined in the notice that a school bullying incident involving students who intentionally or maliciously used bulls and insults through physical, verbal, and Internet means harmed students ’physical and mental health. The list of bullying behaviors published by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission on the WeChat account includes not only physical attacks, ridicule, gossip, isolation, intimidation, etc., but even insulting nicknames. It can be seen that both foreign and domestic, the consequences of injury and subjective intention are the most important factors for identification.

Once the child's behavior is deliberate and insulting, the victim will not only suffer physical humiliation, but will also cause psychological harm. Today ’s school promotes happy education and avoids punishment as much as possible. This is certainly true, but the school itself bears the responsibility of education. The indulgence and exile of children is not responsible for them. Otherwise, when they go to the society and go abroad, they must not give the society a normal personality.

Bullying is actually not terrible. Exaggeration and miniaturization are the faint tactics for turning an emergency into a chronic disease. Numerous domestic and foreign cases of successful coping with bullying show that children's ability to judge right and wrong is weak, but adults cannot be confused, and not letting injured children feel like they are "fighting" is the premise for proper guidance and serious discussion. Only by connecting law and reality and saying no to bullying clearly and resolutely, can every child in Sunshine Campus be bathed in sunlight.

Create a safer campus environment

Regarding what kind of behavior constitutes bullying on campus, our laws do not specifically define it, but this does not mean denying the concept of bullying. In fact, for bullying on campus, countries around the world have relatively uniform standards. The purpose of the anti-bullying system is to protect students from fear and feel safe in the school.

From the perspective of protecting minors ’right to education, students should also have the right to be free from fear in school. Building a safe campus cannot be limited to the absence of "poison tracks" on campus, but also because students can learn, communicate, and live on campus without fear. Therefore, on campus, as long as the injury is intentional and causes the victim to be in shock or fear, regardless of the form and extent of the injury, it is bullying. Such deliberate harm should not be excluded from bullying because the perpetrator claimed to be "teasing".

From the perspective of preventing similar incidents, schools should be the first and first responsible persons for preventing bullying on campus. Once the school gives up the intervention and prevention of bullying on campus, it will inevitably lead to the prevalence of bullying and the expansion of the impact of bullying incidents. In order to prevent the occurrence of similar incidents, the school must not "sludge".

It is also necessary for the public to strengthen their awareness of the concept: bullying is not limited to school violence. As long as there is an intentional act of aggression, and as a result, the victim ’s fright or fear can be determined. Although verbal abuse did not cause tangible harm, it was also bullying. Some disputes between minors can be resolved by themselves, and some require external forces to intervene. In the case of unequal power between the two parties, there is no prerequisite and basis for solving the problem equally. Schools cannot turn a blind eye to giving up their responsibilities on the grounds and excuses of cultivating their own dispute resolution skills.

While educating the perpetrators in the bullying incident, it is necessary to punish them appropriately and in accordance with different situations. Every minor has the right to education, but this right is not absolute. If the exercise of the right to education is severely interfered with by others, then the move to suspend the interferers to study at school is also worth considering. All in all, to build a safer campus that protects students from fear, we need to start from all sides to protect the right of more people to education.

Beyond the small "right and wrong", looking for the true answer

After a few days of hustle and bustle, the “campus bullying” incident in a Beijing elementary school that has attracted much attention has finally yielded investigation results. However, when the process of restoration is really presented to the public, we do not have the relief after knowing the truth.

In any incident of school violence and bullying, children are the most harmed group. For those who are not involved in the world, the awareness of the rules has not been fully established, and they do not know much about the goodwill, respect and harmony between individuals. And when the event evolves into a major event involving adults, the methods of investigation and handling will also have a huge impact on children.

The scientific and proper way will be a good opportunity for children's life education and dignity education; the unscientific and inappropriate way will not only produce good results, but also bring psychological secondary life to the children of both parties. hurt.

Regardless of whether this incident is ultimately characterized as an "incidental incident" or a "campus bullying", an important fact cannot be avoided: at present, most schools are relatively lacking in children's life education and dignity education, which hurts the campus. In-depth understanding of violent incidents is far from enough, especially for the various forms of campus injuries, such as "cold violence", "soft violence" and "micro-bullying". The scientific and proper response before, during and after the injury also lacks experience.

Looking back at the past few days, the reason why a campus incident became a public event for the whole people is due to the public ’s curiosity about the truth, but more importantly because it has caused widespread concerns and uneasiness, concerns about campus safety, and children. The worries about whether they can grow up healthily and happily in school are concerned about whether the school can give children a healthy life education and order concept.

Faced with such a common problem faced by countries around the world as school bullying, learn from the mature experience of other countries, and clarify relevant standards as soon as possible based on the national conditions, so that teachers, students, and families can clearly understand what is bullying and how to respond. A clear understanding is a top priority.

The child's business is no small matter. What kind of present we give the child today, the child will give us a future.
