We’ve already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying.
As a neurodivergent person, I’ve had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying.
In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying.
How can socialism deal with this issue?
Bullying is a symptom.
A properly funded and supported education system would be able to determine the cause of any instance of bullying.
A competent government that cares about its people would be able to respond to any call from the education system to address an underlying problem.
