recently, a middle school in guangdong required parents and students to make a written commitment that "if any incident of school bullying occurs, they will resolutely not take photos or record videos."

if you don't take photos or record videos, you won't be able to preserve the evidence, and it won't be easy to spread. some netizens questioned what the school meant by doing this.

under the questioning of public opinion, the local education department has ordered the school to withdraw the letter of commitment and delete the "no taking photos, no recording videos" content, replacing it with "students are prohibited from bringing mobile phones into the campus" in order to avoid affecting students' learning.

the school’s “active” rectification, in the eyes of netizens, is just a change of name but the substance remains the same, reflecting a negative attitude towards school bullying that “family disgrace should not be made public”.

school bullying is not uncommon and has become a social problem that affects students' physical and mental health and their normal study and life. the state has also issued a number of laws and measures to prevent and curb school bullying in all aspects.

preventing and controlling school bullying requires comprehensive social management including families, schools, and judicial organs, and schools are the first line of defense.

many examples show that when schools (teachers) discover bullying behavior or signs on campus, they should deal with it immediately and let the bullies know the serious consequences of bullying others. if the bully does not receive the appropriate punishment for the first bullying, the bully will think that bullying others has no cost and will only become more aggressive.

the newly revised law on the protection of minors clearly stipulates the responsibilities of schools in the prevention, control and handling of campus bullying. for minors who commit bullying, schools should strengthen discipline according to the nature and degree of the bullying behavior. for serious bullying behavior, schools must not conceal it, but should report it to the public security organs and education administrative departments in a timely manner, and cooperate with relevant departments to handle it according to law.

the school's mentality of covering up the scandal is nothing more than not wanting to make the matter worse, and the root cause is the fear of taking responsibility. however, covering up a fire with paper will only make the fire burn brighter; bullying behavior will not disappear by covering it up, it will only encourage the bully's arrogance and lead to more bullying behavior.

preventing and controlling school bullying is a systematic project that requires the responsibilities of all parties to be consolidated and a sense of responsibility to be forced through a mechanism of pursuit and accountability, so that the relevant departments will not dare to cover up their shame and cannot cover up their shame.
