According to the Ministry of Education and Training, from the beginning of school year 2009 - 2010 to now, the service there were 1598 students (HS) fighting in and outside school. The school has a disciplinary reprimand HS 881, HS 1558 warning and forced out of school term (3 days, 1 week, 1 year) to 735 students. On average, there are 1 to 11,111 students, they were forced out of school discipline is time we fought.

Although most schools are offering the discipline is severe as expulsion, written transcripts ... if we fight in school, but not so that the remission of school violence. In the HS pair of books including knives, alcohol, water pipe, sword, swords ... To avoid detection school, many students have to wait at school, outside school gates and then crashed into scuffles.

Often these incidents, this fight does not stop at two "actors" main drag which is the Assembly, the state, the "submit" to complete dangerous weapons in hand. Reasons leading to the scuffle usually very small, so small that it can not be called the cause of fighting. I only vaguely be defamatory, small impact in the classroom, or just "look all" ... can also lead to a fight.

Violence not only occurs in boys, but has now spread to other female students. Girl fight clips are uploaded from the network began to appear in 2008. Recently, the contents of this clip is more, it's hard to list everything this clip because it stretches from the mountainous provinces (Lao Cai, Yen Bai) to delta (Hanoi, Phu Tho) and the southern provinces. The most recent was the review board of the People-Girls High School Friendship (Nghe An) and the University of Ha Tinh two girls burst into a fight just before the school gates.

Shop "map" is too easy

"Just give me 40,000 - 50,000, after 30 minutes you will get a" map "- a male students at a high school in Dong Da district said." Toys "is a slang term to indicate the types of dangerous weapons such as knives , swords, pipes ... Wednesday sharps "map" an isolated students used to participate in the knife fights the most is concrete, a range of about 40-50cm long, dedicated to cutting paper copies. These knives are rampant sale and purchase is easy on many streets of Hanoi. Recently, the flow of dangerous weapons "flowing" from the border of many and varied as the ships, the most economical, hammers, axes, panicles girls ... however, due to high prices and so difficult to buy the HS is mainly used rudimentary weapons such as swords homemade knife, cardboard, tubes of water ...

These students had participated in, or are victims of the scuffle, said just a small friction can also lead to the same payment. Time to fight, if not prepared before they get anything out of hand and become a "weapon", from brick, stone, mortar caps, cups, mugs, soft drink ... Most of the scuffle when they stop the bloodshed or the intervention of police and adults.

The scuffle took place outside the school gates were reported less often with the principal, but only spread among students with each other. The victims themselves, who were bullied, beaten, often hidden cases even with their parents, their teachers. The reason that victims of school violence have tended to increase both in number and severity, in part from the very heart of the big fight when that HS was not discouraged. Meanwhile, many principals say the school is only responsible for the behavior of students within the campus. What happens outside the school gates, the responsibility belongs ... society.

Along with that is the indifference indifference, coldness of the people watching the fight that broke this. Hardly see anyone with signs or notice of intervention for the authorities, but merely "stood watch for fun."

LDO) - Many psychologists have spoken out and said: Students fight is not completely bug from them. The school, the family has long been just trying to "cram" for students with the knowledge that neglected to teach students life skills.

Educational consequences of deviation


Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Minh, Vietnam Vietnam to protect children's rights have been laments "Do not charge your kids! This behavior is the result of heavy bias in education on the knowledge that overlook the lessons of love and sharing. " The current school education is not enough, not even education about violence prevention for students (HS).

Mr. Phung Khac Binh, former Director of The HSSV (MOET) said one of the basic cause reduced effectiveness of moral education, living conditions for students are taught the word heavy, light about teaching people, not their full attention and mobilize the necessary resources for the work of moral education students. Many places are heavy on discipline, but not stop solution, since education is expression, lead to risk of violating the law. The ethical education, ethics, life skills for students to be in many different channels.

According to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Minh theory, in general education program of pupils' moral teaching is concerned, even quite severe. School students are cramming everything, from traffic laws, to prevent corruption, environmental protection, cultural heritage, ... but the results are less moral education. His theory that "One important reason is that we also teach students to lie too much. We launched many movements, but still mostly advocates, not go into the substance. Out the school gates, and even morality of all time, most of the evening mittinh HS launching a movement that there are other ways to behave. So the students said in class, said during the rally is one thing, do you think is another story, another even more action. "

HS has not been taught life skills

The lack of personality, life skills is one of the main reasons to fight student status. Do Thi Hai - Institute for Environment and Social Issues - said HSSV 1000 survey showed 95% of children not properly aware of life skills; 77.7% had never been training on this issue; 76.4% need to be trained, and most of them awkward to handle common situations in life. The reduction of curriculum load, instead of learning skills is now essential as communication skills training to reduce the sentence does not offend or cause their friends. Behavioral skills training so that they achieve the status of action lens, reaching the highest human values. Hone your skills to the emotions you know the time suppressed emotions, how to live with tolerance, generosity with others.

Along with the adults do not call for indifference to the violent behavior of children and the close attention of the school further. Le Thi Cham, Junior High Principal Cau Dien (Tu Liem) said, the students played together in associations, groups that have, however, happened to the great crash, the fault belongs to a homeroom teacher for did not "capture" by his students. For those students with a strong personality, the first signs of bears, teachers must play the dominant zoning, and coordinate with parents and redress.

Prof. Gail Southerland Dannia (University of North Carolina, USA) in a talk to Open University students in HCM City have confirmed that the best measures to prevent school violence is the impact on families rather than children . Should have a counseling center, guides students skills for parents. Along with that is the organization of group companions. School students can separate the groups at risk of being bullied to organize a group of companions, study together, go to school together. If you go east, it will be limited to being bullied, and bullying group orientation will be monitored and shape.
