Hello, everyone!
Today I'll talk about the Podcast I found.
I found the Podcast named "how to stop bullying." Although I'm not good at listening English, this Podcast was so easy to understand. The woman speaker and best selling author, Lauren Mackler talk about the difference between conflict and bullying, and the best way to stop bullying, and so on. They said that parents and even teachers don't know how to handle this serious problem. There some schools around the world where teachers don't try to realise the bullying though some children ask them for help. Some teachers said to their children, "it's a joke, and not a bullying."
Verbal abuse is thought to be one of the main cause of bullying. A lot of people don't realise that by saying to somebody stupid thing, they hurt the other person's humanity and dignity.
One comment, which doesn't have to be physical, or one cutting remark to the children is enough to stop bullying.
We have to challenge!!
I'm glad that you found a useful and easy to understand podcast about bullying, Kyousuke. I think the distinction between bullying and conflict (or fight) is difficult for teachers. They can't always see the whole context, just a sliver of a relationship when they observe an incident in a schoolyard. What also complicates things is the fact that the role of the bully and the bullied person can reverse. This makes teachers want to keep their distance and not get involved. Of course, they have to get involved to keep situations from escalating to dangerous levels.
返信削除I was surprised reading this post you wrote, because I didn't know that there are schools where teachers don't try to realise the existence of bullying. I definitely agree with your idea that we have to think and care of the issue, since the issue of bullying is related to people's rights. But I also think that deciding the borderline between bullying and just "joking" is very difficult for us. Basically, situations should be called as "bullying" unless both of the persons are feeling good each other, I think. So what is important is having enough conversations and try understanding what others think.
返信削除Hi, Kyosuke! It is the miserable fact that some teachers don’t try to realize bulling even if the student asks them for help. Maybe, they don’t want to concern complicated and troublesome problem. And also, they don’t want to take responsibility to the fact that bullying has occurred and don’t want to be blamed by monster parents. However, for children, sometimes teachers are the only help and they tell the truth to teachers calling up all their courage, so teachers have to catch the mind of children and have to think about bullying together. I want many teachers to listen to this podcast and reflect on their past behavior toward bulling.
返信削除I agree with you. Stopping burring is so difficult, but we can help children who are suffered from burring. I think when they seemed to be suffered from burring, they can help them if teachers and parents should watch thier students or children carefully.
