@Shkshkshk @196 Do you have means by which to report potential bullies? Because I can only imagine a bully thinking this way.
@pteryx @196 fun fact about child development: Kids don't develop proper Theory of Mind until they are about 7 years old. Before the age of 7 every child is a little sociopath that is barely capable of comprehending that other people also have feelings.
Its not impossible for them to develop empathy, though it's hard. You can get those Empathy neurons firing by forcing the kid to think about other people's feelings at least once a day. So, any kid with good Empathy just has good parents.
@Shkshkshk @196 Do you also have an excuse for why the bullying victim gets punished by teachers instead of the bully?
@Shkshkshk @196 Suffice it to say that I suffered through over a decade of "bad classroom management", a lot of which went above and beyond mere attempts at containing screaming and crying... and meanwhile, the "teasers" (the teachers insisted that the verbal bullying be called "teasing") got away scot-free.
I ultimately dropped out of school because of the way the teachers treated me, even two years after they actually finally decided putting the bullies on notice was a worthwhile step.
