So sick of kids beating other kids up brutally.
I grew up in the 70's. We had scraps. It's not a new thing. It's the way they are doing this that sickens me.
Video it. Make it truly brutal. Gang up on some less capable or physical kids.
It's so wrong and it really gets me.
So what in the environment of those girls makes them think something like this is a good idea, or even acceptable? Where did they learn that beating up on someone weaker is a fun thing to do?
I mentioned somewhere else that I believe the drop in social standards comes from trying to do things on the cheap. No-one wants to pay the cost of maintaining and enforcing standards. Local police stations have been closed to save money. Cops walking a beat and even frequent patrols in cars have been cut back for the same reason. Schools are overcrowded and under-resourced and teachers with the right qualifications are not paid enough. All of the rot comes back to lack of money.
What to do about children like this? A good start would be to remove all access to social media, with restricted devices provided in school for educational purposes only. Actions need to have consequences. If necessary, money must be found to ensure that punishments are actually enforced. No social media means no social media, even if that requires a full-time minder!
