The school directors don't want bad publicity thats why they sweeping the problem under the carpet.

 

I wish I had realized that at the time. Could have done so much cool shit. Those over night challenges zoomers did a few years ago sound like fun.

Yeah school was the same for me. Laissez-faire was popular for a while when it came to schooling and the result was kids throwing rocks at each other. I think schools are a bit different now in theory at least and try to prevent such things.

Violent children and adolescents should be moved to prison school or euthanized altogether

Adults seem to think that kids are only playing, even when a group torments a helpless individual. They are probably also scared of the raw, unfiltered, uncivilised actions and feelings of children and adolescents and often choose to look away. Children are more different from adults than people want to imagine, just compare the weird depiction of kids in movies to actual children.

I'd rather say kids are more similar to adults than people want to think. Adults tend to think that kids are impersonal mass and that one kid is the same as any other - children are just children, rather than individuals with their own personalities. But it's don't, children are little adults and their personalities are even more apparent than those of adults. For example the cruelty of bullies comes into light more clearly than it does in adult bullies in an adult environment. Except prison maybe.

True, but I believe this is best explained by adult's inability to understand children. Adults have settled in their position in society (and I believe teachers mostly don't hold a high position). Children fighting for popularity and respect and intensely experiencing triumph and devastation scares people who have left this behind and want to believe that there is a "good" way of living where everyone can be happy. An idea that the children's behaviour does not support.

I don't think struggle for popularity is such a big thing for kids

Kids mostly care about their friends that they hang out with, not so much what the generaolpopulation in their class thinks

 

And school violence isn't about fighting forstatus, it happens simply because bullies are sadists by nature, they enjoy injuring and dominating an another individual

I'd say: "sadist by evolution". All people are cruel in some way to achieve their goals, whether they're aware of it or not. At some point in life those with more refined and subtle methods of imposing their will on others become more successfull than the bullies but it's all about dominance and status. And those who can't dominate others become Bernds.
