Today, April 7, the National Day to Combat Bullet and Violence is celebrated in the school. This is not a memorial history, but a An opportunity to draw attention On the question and rethinking the role of the school, the family and even the state in facing the problem.
With conflicts, in general, in the school environment, it is necessary for educational institutions to play an active role in Bulk fighting. A CNN I spoke to three teachers and heard Some proposals It can be improved in schools to More effective results.
Check 6 examples of active practices against bullying:
- Invest in determining the problem. According to the teacher Benamim Horta, the general manager of vulgar and creative programs for the school without a bullying program, regardless It is not always an easy task. A A thin line between bullying and jokingThere is no conceptual clarity about this phenomenon and The social standards that students ultimately set cooperation so that they become part of the school cultureAnd as it is noted. It is necessary that employees have a clear feeling of bullying and knowing how to distinguish between him and other behaviors, from there, from there from there the appropriate prevention or intervention work.
- Exaggeration of pagan procedures. Dates like the National Bullet Day are necessary to enhance the importance of mobilization against this violence, but for Benjamin Horta, prevention activities should not be linked only to specific dates. “When we talk about bullying, sporadic measures rarely achieve positive results. Effective prevention work is a systematic methodology throughout the year. Bullet prevention is to expect the problemHe says, “Converting the insistence into a training opportunity.”
- Focus on prevention, not just the punishment. Many schools adopt an interactive position, and they punish the attackers without investing in preventive and educational procedures. This can lead to a cycle of revenge and does not solve the causes of bullying. To change this situation, it is important to implement continuous awareness programs, Enhancing a culture of respect and encouraging activities that enhance sympathy and conflict solution Deivis Pothin, General Manager of Pueri Domus School, General Manager of Pueri Domus Dual Language School, says.
- Create safe and secret channels to condemn. In Renato Casagrande, a doctorate in education and researcher in educational strategies and policies, no serious mistake in schools provides clear and protected channels. Students and parents often are silent Fear of revenge Or because they feel exposed. It is necessary to create roads at reasonable, confidential and safe prices so that anyone can report bullying, guarantee secret and welcome those who seek help. “
- Enter quickly. Benjamin, of Apprace, notes that many teachers do not interfere in bullying reports because they do not know how to do this, or do not pay attention or even claim that they have no time. “When interventions are neglected in school violence situations, students see that this position is governed and tolerated. Knowing how to intervene sends a A clear and consistent message This bullying is an unacceptable behavior and that adults put themselves strongly against violence. “
- Evil and dialogue with the family. Many families do not know how to act in bullying – whether when the child is a victim or when the aggressor is. This leads to conflict with school or even denying the problem. The school needs to create permanent spaces for dialogue, listening and guidance for families, and enhancing Student support network. “Control of bullying only as a school responsibility, without involving students, teachers, parents and other members of society, It limits the effectiveness of açõesS “, Deivis Dovent.
