More bullying

[Ixion]

Couple of considerations;

First is that it's already two to one. And bullies being what they are, if that's not enough, they'll escalate to three, four, whatever to one. "Stand up for yourself" is one thing when it's a fair fight. Many to one, is just a hiding (literally) to nothing.

Second, this isn't old school (pun not intended) playground fight, with a bloody nose , black eye and split lip. Concussion and putting the boot in is a nasty step beyond that

Third, is that the school is not only failing Master Ratti. it's failing the bullies as well. If they aren't pulled up short and hard at this stage, they're going to take away the lesson that bullying works, that causing pain is fun. Read any newspaper to see what sort of people they'll develop into. The short term gratification of hurting people is paid for by a long term lifetime of alienation and brutality. Until eventually they end up in prison or run into an even bigger bully and end up dead or worse. They need taking in hand for their own sakes.

Bring back the stocks

A couple of days wearing the public displeasure and ridicule will do far more than any "restorative justice" bullshit

well said Ixion.
I have encouraged both my sons to walk away from bullshit, but if someone takes a swing..hit back, hit hard then run.

Tinkltoes, take your dislike of DB to a different thread. this is not the appropriate place for it.

Not first in class in comprehension? Never mind, maybe simple numbers is more your thing...2 on 1 doesn't hand the win to 1.
Granted, our victim might find the opportunity to get 1 of the bully's alone - sounds like he could cope with that.

That's where real poofters come from....

People tend to find it much easier to express themselves when using proper grammar

:slap: I said comprehension, not grammar. Comprehension = understanding. Often, grammar helps comprehension, but in your case it appears as tho both are mutually exclusive. Oooops - I mean missing.

Nobody ever again messes with the kid who spent a week on suspension because he kept smashing another kids head with a chair till he was dragged away kicking and screaming. If he's going to do it, he needs to do it before he's 16... Just saying...

[Ratti]

now there is a subject that truly deserves its own thread

[Ratti]
