Talk:Bullying G: A Case Study from South Korea/@comment-26544184-20150731103200/@comment-26531142-20150731160427

I agree whole-heartedly, Adrian. After having G in class again (the second time since her return to the academy), I had trouble sleeping. I just kept thinking of how the scenario played itself out in class and how disrupted the whole dynamic was. Based on my inability to let it go for vacation, and all of your advice, I have emailed my director to put my mind at peace for the time being. I outlined the situation, and also told the director what happened on Thursday, something that I interpretted as a cry for help.

The students were working on a group writing task, and Y (the "best friend") wrote, "Kate was younger than Lisa. Lisa was very happy because Lisa harrassed Kate. Kate was very very very sad." Then G wrote, "Kate's mom was angry because Lisa harassed Kate." The students themselves changed the names. Anyway, this got to me. I sincerely hope that the director of the school is able to help put a stop to this situation - in a positively framed way. I'm certain it extends outside of our academy and into school and other places - punishment or explusion would not alleviate the situation - it would just remove it from our view. I agree that with all teachers on board, we should be able to make a difference. Crossing my fingers for when we head back to work in a week an a half.
