My Wife's friend was telling her of some other lady's 12 year old kid who is catching all sort of bullying.
Here are some examples. In physical education class. One coach supervises four classes at once, yes four!!
So, in order to watch and supervise all four mobs of kids he drives from one corner of the huge field to another corner in his little golf cart. The tuff guys pick on the little guys in a bad way with this sort of supervision.
Another specific instance, in the madness of lunch time, a group of kids always does evil, the latest being that he got a banana shoved up his nose.
This sort of thing has been happening non stop since he started going to middle school three weeks ago.
Of course, I think the best bet is to join my kung fu school.
But, I wonder how other teachers here help kids who are getting bullied at school.
I have not taught in the states for very long, mostly in Taiwan. The only case of my teaching a kid who gets bullied, I just taught him MA and said nothing (actually, the parents didn't tell me). Just him getting the confidence of training has kept the bully kids away (as far as I know).
Looking for any stories and tips that I might be able to present to a mom, or better yet, some sort of play acting in class that helps kids deal with the situation at school better.
Thanks!
