Prevent school violence from the smallest jokes and conflicts

I would like to share some solutions to prevent school violence that have been effectively implemented in my school.

First is the propaganda stage. At the beginning of the school year, we spend a month to establish order and thoroughly propagate to students and parents about school rules, including the rules that students absolutely must not violate, such as fighting.

Weekly propaganda to prevent school violence

This work is not just a one-off, we do it every week in many different ways: sharing, watching clips to learn lessons and write commitments, experiential activities, role-playing situations...

At the same time, the board of directors, when working with students, also made it clear: students who violate the rules will be strictly handled, including having their records sent to the police for investigation if there is any violent behavior. Along with that, we create an environment with positive statements: What a pretty mouth/ Just say nice words; Anger is instinct/ Silence is courage: School violence - everyone's pain ...

We recommend that you share books like Anger Management or books about communication skills… to learn more skills to manage your emotions when angry.

Next, the school board, especially the principal, when meeting students at the beginning of the year, must carefully analyze the causes and consequences of school violence (it is best to choose reports from reputable TV channels) and propose strict handling methods according to regulations, which all students must remember.

We also do not forget to provide information to students about channels to contact when they need support: homeroom teachers, student managers, subject teachers or anyone they meet when they discover a friend has violent behavior...

In particular, the school board is always ready to open the door to welcome students with anything that they are not satisfied with or the principal's mailbox is located in the school yard, students can send their opinions at any time and many of the issues students report have been quickly handled with this approach.

Our board of directors also shares that teachers should never be subjective with small conflicts, even just in students' words. Small problems, if not thoroughly resolved, will be "blown into big problems" and lead to violent behavior.

The first month of school is very important.

For us, the first few months of school are extremely important. The principal has clearly instructed that homeroom teachers and administrators must coordinate with each other to isolate each group of students. Pay attention to the group that likes to joke around. We think this group is innocent, but we have encountered many cases where joking turns into "real fights".

The group with psychological problems, if they do not behave appropriately and closely follow, can easily be provoked by friends around them, intentionally or unintentionally, which can lead to violence. The group of students with strong personalities (a bit fiercer than friends around them, quiet and quiet but easily rude or hot-tempered...).

Just divide into groups like that so that the forces can join together to have a plan to gradually impact in many ways with positive disciplinary methods, and if necessary, ask for the support of parents. We should not wait for the children to violate the law before dealing with it, but slow and steady wins the race, prevention is the key to being quite effective in preventing school violence.

However, at first, not all teachers are aware of this. They think it is a "small matter" so they often ignore it, subjectively do not handle it, and lack coordination with parents. So the children confide in their negative friends about that small matter, and thus secretly think of hating their friends every day, and everyone knows that violence is inevitable.

When an incident occurs, students, parents and schools cannot respond in time, while we can impact the root of the problem in many ways.

On the other hand, we keep talking about games and the influence of social networks that have significantly affected the perception and lifestyle of many students today, making them prone to aggressive or insensitive behavior. But it is also the fault of adults that we are not persistent in educating children to live emotionally, to know how to love and be compassionate, to be moved by the simple and ordinary beauty in life, to show disagreement with evil and ugliness...

I do not dare to affirm that my school can completely ban school violence at this age, but from the above methods (and other specific methods that I cannot fully present within the scope of this article), I am sure that school violence will be greatly limited.

Spark positive emotions

Nowadays, most schools have television (except in difficult areas), but how many schools give students a quiet moment to watch a video about examples of overcoming difficulties, about kind stories, about parents' sacrifices... to kindle positive emotions in students about beauty and goodness?

Every adult asks himself what have we done to change our children? Have we been really patient and done the right thing with our children or have we just been superficial?

If we let our children immerse themselves in the virtual world, with little interaction with their children and students, and only study, study all day and night, with results as the measure of everything, will they be able to move towards a healthy lifestyle and have positive emotions to stay away from school violence?
