IV. Points for discussion.
Are the likes of Ruslan Fattachov often met at schools? How should they be dealt with?
Is school or are parents to blame for disruptive behaviour of some children? In the cited article one of the schoolchildren lost his eye because of the unruly Ruslan, who do you think is responsible for what had happened: the teacher or the offender?
Why do you think Ruslan has always been getting off the hook despite his awful pranks and outrageous behaviour at school?
Should the government pass some bill on the protection of children from school bullies?
Do you agree with the journalist that there are no incorrigible children and one can find a way even to the hardest brat?
Classroom bullies escape blame
An increasing number of schools now adopt a “no blame” policy for classroom bullies that relies on a “group problem-solving” approach, rather than punishment.
Bullying in schools is so widespread that one in five primary school pupils and one in 20 secondary school children are bullied at least once a week, according to research at Sheffield University.
Physical violence is involved in more than a quarter of incidents in secondary schools and more than a third in primary schools.
Ms. Barbara Maines, of Avon Psychological Service, and Mr. George Robinson, of the University of the West of England, have tested their approach since December 1991, which uses empathy and peer pressure.
Several thousand teachers now use it.
Bullies, their cronies, bystanders, and victims were gathered together in a group to discuss how to solve the problem, said Ms. Maines.
“They fall over themselves to come up with ideas to help. We have tried it from five-year-olds to 28-year-olds”, she said.
The technique has been criticized as too soft by some parents and teachers who feel that bullies should be forced to take responsibility for their actions.
Ms. Maines and Mr. Robinson responded: “This is not a soft approach but a very tough one. Changing behaviour and making things all right for the victim is the responsibility for one’s actions.
