But more importantly, whether you can return to school in a safe, peaceful and loved state or not.
H. had to be rescued and treated after a period of pressure and prolonged violence from a group of classmates. According to information verified by functional agencies, she was also forced to give money every day.
Such injuries cannot end with a grade-based decision.
A student who is abused in school can suffer psychological trauma for a very long time. Afraid of meeting the person who hurt them again, afraid of entering the classroom, afraid of the eyes of friends.
And the scariest thing is the feeling of not being protected.
Therefore, when you are healthy enough to return to school, the first thing is to help you feel protected.
Schools need to assess risks and take measures to prevent continued threats, pressure or retaliation.
Homeroom teachers, school psychological counselors and the school board must closely monitor his return to school process.
Friends also need to be guided not to turn H.'s story into rumors, teasing or discrimination.
Especially, if students who used to cause violence still study in the same environment, the school must have specific safety assurance plans. It is not possible to bring a student who has just gone through a crisis back to class and then leave him to fend for himself.
Because if H. is considered for 9th grade, but still faces threats, isolation or violence every day, then "going to class" has no meaning.
Education is not only about bringing students from grade 8 to grade 9, but also about protecting a child when they are the weakest; helping them regain trust in teachers, friends and the school environment.
The incident also poses a greater responsibility for the school.
Schools are not places where conflicts never happen, but when a student is in danger, teachers must detect it in time and protect it in time.
For H., the road back to school needs to be prepared with more than one set of admission documents. It must be a companion plan on health, psychology, study and friendships.
You need to be respected by friends, close teachers, and proactively protected by the school.
So that when H. steps through the school gate, the first thing she feels is not scrutinizing eyes, but friendly smiles.
You are welcome, not lonely because you have loving friends. And at this school, no one is allowed to hurt you again.
Taking classes is to ensure the right to study, and protecting H to go to school safely, helping her heal her injuries and regain her trust is the full responsibility of education.
