We've already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying.

As a neurodivergent person, I've had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying.

In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying.

How can socialism deal with this issue?

This does sound like a good step in the right direction.

I think a more community focused ethos might help, too. If kids are encouraged to think about the well being of the group over seeing themselves as atomized individuals they might be able to better protect each other and intercede in bullying. but that could go the other way, with the group ostracizing someone.
