Problem 1: Force all the kids into a pressure cooker.
The normal way to handle too much "attention" is to leave the situation.
At school, you can't escape.
Problem 2: The bully is not the problem, the victim is.
A child with a solid ego, and a good self worth are never bullied. A bully tries something, and it just doesn't stick.
Further, when a victim stops being a victim, the bully has to stop. (it has been shown to me several times) But, when a bully stops, the victim will just find another bully, or just imagine one.
The victim needs a lot of emotional work to start standing on their own two feet. Govern-cement schools can't even begin to touch this
Problem 3: Kids are little shits. Kids are vicious. It takes a lot of growing up before you stop tormenting everyone with every word you utter.
Problem 4: Govern-cement schools are bullies. You cannot ask an organization to stop bullying when their entire structure is built around bullying. Things like results based testing. Just keep hammering your idea into the kid until they repeat it correctly. Even if it is wrong; Especially if it is wrong.
Sit down, shut up, take Ritalin if you can't sit down, shut up and sit still.
I agree on 1, 3 and especially 4. On 2, i think that neither the bully nor the victim are the problem. They are both kids on the opposite side of the spectrum and need to be educated with different methods to become successful adults.
In (grown-up) society there is a lot of empathy for the victims, while the bullies are punished and neglected and this is completely wrong. Government schools that preach authority as fundamental principle naturally have to take this position.
