Really? Hmmmmm....hope this ends well in life

I have a friend that I call big head sometimes, so will u call that bullying? What I am trying to say is that calling big head isn't an insult, it could even be a joke, although the child may take it as an insult. I was tall from my youth days and I have been called names like iroko, longitude and so on, will I count that as bullying? So refer to someone as big head isn't bullying to me.

InTheCloudySky:
You would just end up facing criminal charges if you or your child does, which you wouldn't want. There are now anti-bullying laws everywhere and some forms of cyberbullying and in-class bullying are considered criminal acts, so the best thing to do is to report the perpetrators, as they could be prosecuted. Bullying is now being taken seriously by schools and police departments in the country. I'm not talking about Nigeria, though, but I hope Nigeria gets to that stage.

ModestGal:

This is why I said Education in Nigeria is useless. I'm sure you went to school, and you still think like this. Education in Nigeria needs overhauling, completely useless.
What you are trying to say doesn't make sense, because it's not about you, or how you feel, it's about how the child feels. Calling yourself names, and bad words, is why you guys didn't grow, because you like it or not,it will psychologically impact you in one way or the other. It's simply wrong

Have you head of the word "Teasing"? That someone is reading you doesn't mean they hate you. Please teach your kids that, it's part of emotional training.

Have you seen seen politicians engage in a debate before? Don't worry, I pray that boy will end up contesting for an election in the future, when his opponent tease him, he will then run back to daddy to cry. And lemme guess, daddy will then to the opponent to shout at him, abi?

You guys are just too funny to be taken seriously...honestly

ahnie:

Do have a nice day...bye!

Why is a teacher teasing a student ?


If students were teasing each other, will teachers allow that?

einsteine:


Stop glorifying suffering. This is sufferhead mentality that you have.

Evercurious:


And you too.. also remember that correction /discipline from wrong doing is different from bullying before you guys end up raising spoilt and indisciplined kids that you cant talk to in the future

od501:


Ah! Are you seriously saying these? This hilarious

My son came home to tell me his teacher calls him "big head" which saddened him. He's new to the school and was still trying to fit in and here comes a teacher,of all names in the world,Big head is the best for him not like his head is bigoo.

Went to his school the next day and met the teacher.Imagine she telling me "ask other boys in my class I call all of them big head.How can she ridicule a male when she's been praying for one(has 4 girls as I later discovered)"

My son insisted right before her that it was only him she called thatand me I warned her seriously. That was how the shit ended.

I know where to draw the line but I will not accommodate any act that will affect my kids self esteem.

My mum will advice us not to fear anybody. If they dey fight us we should fight back...luckily nobody bullied me or my siblings in school.
The only recent event that happened is when a boy bullied my cousin sister. My cousin sister reported to my mum. The following day my mum caught the boy, gave him some warning and reported to his mum, if the school can't punish him, she would personally discipline the boy to stay off my cousin sister. Since that day enhancforth, they bully stopped.

I would love such experience, make I enroll my child first.

We go first scatter things for the school before I start to ask questions.

You made a good point there. But I can recognise abusive words when I hear them, and BIG HEAD is never one of them. And yes, I agree with you when you said it depends on how we were raised. And I will boldly tell you that no amount of harsh, derogatory words can weight us down.

I'm even the softest in term of teasing people, my sisters will tease you to depression if you dare go toll that path, and it has been like that since then we were kids. That's how you train emotionally strong kids, not some bread and butter emotionally volatile humans that always run to papa every time they feel hurt, a male for that matter!

I won't tolerate such wimpy attitude in my bloodline especially from a male child. It's a sign of weakness. And God forbid I breed weak 'men' from my loins.

ahnie:

Pls do have a nice evening.... remember to drink lots of water.

See correct mama.

My son has a name,a middle name and a surname and none could suffice?He even told me she brought him out before the class to teach with his head as an example.How do you think a 5 yr old new pupil would feel.?Private school at that.

I first reported to the office and found out 2 parents had also had their children complain of the teacher changing their names to a mocking one .I'm not a fool .I know when its
teasing and when one has gone overboard.

Whether of was a joke or tease,it was nipped in the bud and afterwards both are good .My son even topped the class and won a gift from her.He's now in an upper class.

Don't mind them. Nigerians have internalised abuse, so it seems normal.

Even it's teasing, it's still inappropriate. A teacher is supposed to maintain a professional relationship with a student and not a friendship.
