Have you never wondered why bullying is tolerated in school?
It'd quite simple really, and like a great many other basic social truths would become glaringly apparent to all were the fear of change removed.
Bulling is not attacked systematically in school with any degree of sincere effort because quite simply our entire society is based on bullying.
Every Facet of The Company and thus 99.994% of our society is based on coercion of the weak by the strong.
The people with the guns run the world, the people with the beds and the grain stores run the world and we obey them because they are bigger and they can hurt us. Its that simple. To teach children to not tolerate bullying would in effect make them terrorists by the contemporary American definition. It would make them activists.
The school allows the football god to screw teen cheer leaders and beat up the chess club kids because that's exactly what they want children to learn. Tolerance for oppression, and an ability to rationalize any horror while continuing to work and do as they're told.
I personally think that's simply fucking evil, but I also know that you're unprepared to attack this system at its root because you're nice and addicted to their product. Probably tons of them. From gasoline, to your spouse's behaviors related to their gender role.

I agree with most of this except the "tolerance" part.
ReplyDeleteIt is obviously through the ignorance of the staff and not through some malicious intentions that this comes to be.
Where do you draw the fine line between bullying, teasing, and normal child behaviours? Bullying is even observed in other primates.
The schoolteachers probably don't even realize this grand bullying scheme themselves.
