Public schools teach you all the wrong ways to deal with bullies, and forbid the correct ways. They teach kids to run to teachers for help whenever they get bullied; in the real world that doesn't work because there's no teacher to run to. And when a kid stands up to a bully themselves, the school punishes him for exercising precisely the skills he'll need later in life. Schools don't teach kids how to deal with bullies, they teach kids how to be docile victims.
- ndriscoll 3y agoAs someone with a toddler, I've found myself annoyed with this already with Ms Rachel videos on youtube. "If another kid is throwing sand at you and won't stop when you ask, tell a grown up." No, grown ups were also raised on this garbage and won't do anything. What's the teacher going to do if the other kid won't stop? Go tell the principal? And what will they do? Nothing. The correct thing to do is to shove the other kid. Don't hurt them; just indicate they need to back off. If they still don't, throw sand at them, and then while they're recoiling, shove them down and kick them. Society has a major problem where proper, proportionate, defensive violence is punished, and it traces back to this kind of crap.
