Occurs to me that under the strict playground rules, the school was effectively being a bully: harmless natural behavior was being punished way out of proportion and with no sensible (to the kids) reason. Seems the bullies were just mimicking what the school was doing.
- ronaldx 13y agoAgree in principle: a great deal of bullying goes on in schools that is not pupil-on-pupil.
- doktrin 13y agoI grew up partly in the French school system, and this certainly holds true. Teachers were often prototypical bullies : humiliating kids, mocking them outright, verbally lashing out at them. No shocker that this behavior trickles down as a model to follow.
- Loic 13y agoI grew up partly in the French school system too, but never had such kind of teachers. I was both in private schools and ZEP (area with high level of immigration and considered schools with problems). This is just to balance your point of view with respect to the French school system.
