I have to admit I was more impressed with Mary Grace than the teacher. Despite all she went through, Mary Grace had a heart big enough to reason beyond her age and consider Justin's home and social life.MsH2k wrote: ↑21 May 2023, 17:25 I was very impressed with Justin's punishment and thought it was fair and effective. It was not standard disciplinary action prescribed blindly, although the suspension was mandatory and I was glad they did not hesitate to suspend Tiffany as well. Mary Grace and the rest of the crew were thoughtful in considering Justin’s home life and the reasons that may have contributed to his actions.

I agree with the torture part. However, I believe Justin's situation was as a result of his home situation. He borrowed harsh words from his father and thought referring to his classmates as such was a good idea. How misguided!Rowan the first wrote: ↑23 May 2023, 00:43 Those bullies can do things that can psychologically torture someone for the rest of his/her life and whenever they are caught, they need to be severally punished. I believe that these punishments were fair.

I concur! At first, Justin was even arrogant when dealing with his teachers. However, when I knew the motivation behind his actions, I felt the teachers and Mary Grace were quite considerate.Kavita Shah wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 09:21 At first I wanted the bully to be righteously punished. But knowing why he did it, it seemed important to correct his actions instead of severely punishing him. The final outcome was win-win for all the children. It was a good result.

I hadn't thought of that. That's quite insightful. Thanks for sharing.Rocky Ellery James Tumbelaka wrote: ↑22 May 2023, 04:19 I think that severe or harsher punishment might give a rebound effect. As in the bully would come back meaner and wanting revenge. Punishment must fit the crime. Also consulting and rehabilitation are essential in fixing the bully mindset. The punishment and support they gave to Justin in this book was perfect for me.

That's right, Justin was still not properly accepting his wrong when talking privately to the teacher, that part got me angry for good. Then the parent meeting in the office showed me where Justin got into being a bully.Roy Nick wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 06:02I concur! At first, Justin was even arrogant when dealing with his teachers.

Yes, Mary Grace and teachers did right.
The idea of Karate classes was just brilliant, the way to redirect the anger or pent up emotions.
