This is my opinion
School is not best place for learning nowdays since all the subjects can be learn from youtube.
But, the important that get from school is like Discipline, friends, survival act, teamwork art, respecting, and yeah of course self defense including bullying.
Thats why i still said that school still needed.
I will make my son finished his school until at least high school in order to make friends and network. But, i really dont care about subject grades as long as he still pass to move up a class i never cared too much about subject grades.
But, i really matter how he react,how he socialize,how he utilize what he have in surroundings and how to make his life having discipline.

Do you not teach discipline at home? My daughters learnt that even before they were old enough to attend school, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to follow the teachers' instructions.
As I already said, these aspects can all be covered with homeschooling. It's every parents choice on how they educate their children, however, and school works for the majority, but for some it doesn't. It's short sighted to assume homeschooling can't cover certain aspects just because it's not the choice of the majority.
There will likely be difficulties when homeschooling depending on your country. For those countries that allow it, however, homeschooling families will often connect with one another and can arrange teamwork activities if they want to.
I'm curious what your thoughts are on when bullying reaches a point where the victim chooses to take their own life, like those highlighted in the article. Is that their own fault for not being emotionally strong enough to defend themselves?
I dont know much about that in this era like tech era
When i was a kid i think bullies still there but we are strong enough since we are raise in harsh environment and still using the strongest take everything. So, like it or not we are fighting. But that really different with this era i guess,
There is no point using physical violence to resolve the problem, right now using tech,money,and creative mind to resolve problem. And i dont know in your country but in my country Millenial era starting to go lazy and starting sedentary lifestyle that makes low health quality and they are ( in this case my era too) realize or not teaching their children with sedentary lifestyle too which is from my opinion low quality health will bring low quality mental. And worsening by social media that really easy to accessing kid. It can reduce both health and mental i guess.
But back again since i really new about this parenting and still learning about parenting so i need to read this article too. I still dont know which one is better. And if my son got bullied as long as he can handle the emotion and not make impacted physic like broken bones or make cripple i teaching him to avoid them at first and if they cannot be avoided he need to fight back with smart ways.
(Sorry if my grammar is bad)
I agree, this digital age certainly adds a new layer when it comes to mental health. Then physical health and nutrition will also play a part. It's very complex and there isn't a simple solution.
My eldest had a short period of time of bullying before we moved schools. It was a matter of straight forward jealousy which we discussed tactics to handle. Initially it wasn't a problem, but when the tactics didn't work it started to wear her down. We were leaving the school anyway due to the move, so it stopped when she left. Because it didn't get to the point of extreme I feel like it was a bit of a lesson that she could learn some things about dealing with difficult people. Had it escalated and become more than she could deal with I would have stepped in. We let the teacher at the time know that she was having issues with this girl as well, so she could keep an eye on things.
That's okay, I appreciate the genuine comments and thoughts. 🙂
And the bad news is as my wife is a teacher,
there is one condition in my country that teacher cannot hit or even scold harder or else will dealing with police. And since we are minority we need to follow the rules or else will dealing with hardship.
so, right now dealing with kids nowdays will be harder since the system wont allow to act decisively and kid themself wont allowed physical violence and sometimes get the worst that the kid that got bullied shame or afraid to share the story. Thats why many people will suicide in this situation.
We have similar laws. Teachers and coaches can't even comfort children when they are hurt or upset so they are reluctant to touch them physically in any way.
