Emma Watson didn’t get the royal treatment in Brown. Apparently, students tormented her by quoting Harry Potter. According to The Insider, her classmates would say “Three points for Gryffindor” every time she gets an answer right. Emma’s party denies the bullying but we can’t deny bullying does exist.
It’s just so sad. Maybe the efforts to improve the school system should start by disciplining the student and find a way to stop bullying in school. Who would study well and participate in school if they will get tormented every time they express a hint of intelligence.
Just a suggestion, rank everyone by their ability to learn. I’m not saying rank by intelligence because a slow learner can still be intelligent; it just takes time to learn new things. Grouping students based on their ability to learn will avoid smart kids to be bored while the slow ones get frustrated and end up quitting. Also, frustrated kids won’t have to resort to bullying to hide their insecurities.
I won’t pretend this will solve everything but at least it can be the start.
