In reply to the discussion: 9-year-old suspended after he says he stood up to a bully [View all]saras
(6,670 posts)Okay, so what's a BETTER solution?
Obviously any "solution" suggesting Nathan, or anyone not explicitly seeking a Christ role, needs to put up with the second blow is unacceptable. They won't work, and people will simply take care of themselves and then get punished for disobeying the law. Useless.
For that matter, a "solution" that in any way suggests the kid was wrong without offering a more appropriate alternative is rightly going to be ridiculed as not a solution, but catering to the bully. Whatever works as a solution has to tell Nathan what to do, in that moment, that would work better than what he did. Later is later.
So what's better? Incapacitating choke holds? Tasers on video cameras? Psychiatric screening of kids allowed into public schools? Cops in the hall in full riot gear?
