Family together to prevent school violence

Recently, physical violence, verbal violence, and mental violence have been on the rise in schools. In addition, school violence occurs among both male and female students. The consequences of petty conflicts sometimes do not stop at ordinary quarrels and fights, but are more dangerous and serious... In particular, there have been tragic murders that have caused public panic, making parents worried, insecure, and frustrated.

According to experts, students receiveeducation from their families before entering school; they demonstrate the family's behavior in the school environment, both good and bad. Therefore, family and parents have the first and most important influence on the formation of children's character, personality and life orientation.

However, nowadays, many families only focus on making a living, do not spend much time caring for, loving, protecting, caring, being close to, sharing with their children, and do not grasp their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Or the family is broken, parents have violent behavior, violate rules, social norms... causing children to tend to join bad friends, form violent behavior, and more dangerously, fall into social evils.

Mr. Nguyen Phuong Nam (living in Chau Doc City) was upset: “Currently, many families have the mentality of outsourcing all the education of their children to the school. They don’t even know how their children study or who they hang out with. When negative things happen at school, they turn around and blame the school.”

Sharing the same opinion, Ms. Vo Thi Phi Phung (residing in Long Xuyen City) shared: “The children are only at school for 4-8 hours a day, mostly for studying culture. Moreover, each class has a lot of students, while there is only 1 homeroom teacher. Therefore, the school cannot know where the children go, what they do after school hours, how can they manage everything?”

Having worked as a homeroom teacher, Ms. Nguyen Thi L. (residing in Phu Tan district) shared: “Most students who often quarrel and fight are problem students, lacking care and education from their families. There are many cases where parents spoil their children too much, only meeting their material needs, forgetting their spiritual needs, lacking care and control over their children’s thoughts and actions.”

Ms. Tran Thi Ngoc T. (parent of the student) shared: “I was convinced that my child was very well-behaved and would never fight with friends at school. Only when the homeroom teacher brought my child home with disheveled clothes and injured arms and legs did I feel regretful for not paying more attention to my child. That is my responsibility and that of my family, I cannot blame anyone else.”

To prevent and stop school violence, it requires participation from many sides, close coordination between family, school and society. In which, family is an important environment, helping to form, nurture and develop emotions, moral education, lifestyle and personality of people. In daily life, parents must be exemplary models of morality, lifestyle and behavior for their children to follow.

At the same time, parents need to spend time caring for their children, listening, promptly analyzing, and correcting wrong thoughts and actions related to school violence. Ms. Nguyen Thi Truc Huynh (living in Long Xuyen City, whose daughter is in 10th grade) said: “Although I am busy with work, I always care about my child's studies and friendships. Besides, I regularly contact the homeroom teacher to get information about my child's studies at school.”

Similarly, Ms. Do Thi My Ngoc (residing in Chau Phu district) confided: “I always pay attention to what my child reads and watches every day. In addition, no matter how busy I am, I always take the time to talk to my child, pay attention to the things he brings to school every day, his attitude, behavior, or unusual expressions and marks on his body”. Having a son in 7th grade, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Khang (residing in Phu Tan district) said: “My family regularly teaches my child not to hit his friends, not to gather to skip school, and not to follow the bad habits of bad friends. I find out who my child often hangs out with, to give timely guidance…”.

In order to prevent, repel and gradually eliminate school violence, it is necessary to have the participation of families, schools and society. In which, the most important thing is to enhance the role and responsibility of families, eliminate violent behavior from family life. Let every day at school be a happy, useful and meaningful day for children, contributing to building a safe, healthy, friendly educational environment, improving the quality of education, for the future generations of the country.
