Why don't parents pull their kids out of a toxic environment?

17.1.2022

For the umpteenth time, I see an article about school bullying. The hero of the note is a boy or girl who is bullied by classmates. And each such story mentions the hero's mother, who continues to sort things out with teachers and school administration about the situation. And I read that she “hasn't been able to get the truth for a year”. A child's year is not taken away from a toxic environment! He has been subjected to violence for a year, receiving deep psychological trauma! How is this possible? Why don't parents who have tried all methods to influence a school with children with children pick up their children from school for the duration of the trial? There are situations when there is no place to transfer the child. But it is always possible to take him to family education. The main thing is to get him out of trouble. Every day spent in a classroom where a child is bullied, for example, for going to class wearing a medical mask and disinfecting his hands, is associated with humiliation, resentment, low self-esteem, and pain. He goes to school every day like he's been tortured. What kind of learning can a child think about in such a situation? It is clear that his academic performance will decrease. And he'll know his parents didn't protect him. And no one protected him. He was left alone with his enemies. What adult would like this fate for themselves? I think no one. A child who even spends one year in a classroom where his classmates are psychologically and physically abused will need long-term psychological therapy. And those parents who tolerate these years of bullying their children will not even think about the need for early therapy. Many adults who have psychological problems tend to have them during childhood. They grew up blaming themselves or their parents for what happened to them at school. And, perhaps, some of them will start paying part of their salaries to psychotherapists in order to get rid of the prison they ended up in when they were children. And some of them, only on the specialist's couch, will begin to realize that all their failures and problems in life are the psychological trail that stretches back to them from their “wonderful” childhood, in which their clothes were rinsed in the toilet, obscenities were written on their backs, their collar was put in snow, they were subtly set up in front of teachers and parents, humiliated them in front of a girl by boys and by boys. And over the years, parents haven't said to their child the words he dreamed of hearing: “Don't be afraid, we'll definitely come up with something. We won't let you get hurt.”
