These Days, Kids Have it Rough

Tough teachers, expectations put heavy toll on kids.

Bullies: Teachers do it, too

School bullies aren’t always kids. Even teachers do it.

Nearly half of the teachers surveyed by The Menninger Clinic in Houston, Texas, admitted to bullying students, reports a study in The International Journal of Social Psychiatry.

About 45 percent of 116 instructors of kindergarten through fifth graders questioned said they had bullied their students. Bullying teachers tended to be intimidated when they were of school age, the study found.

Teachers often lack the training and tools to properly discipline students, and are likely to be “trapped in bully-victim relationships as adults,” according to the study.

“If your early experiences lead you to expect that people will not reason but respond to force, then you are at risk of re-creating this situation in your classroom,” says Peter Fonagy, a study collaborator and director of clinical health psychology at University College London.

The pressure is on: our kids

The pressure of the proverbial rat race is fine for adults who want to keep up that pace, but we’re transferring the burden of doing it all on our children, says a study published in the journal Developmental Science.

“Children are increasingly being expected to provide an adult-level of detail and information” says David Shore, a psychology professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. “Children have years to hone their perceptual skills.”

Even 10-year-olds can’t provide adultlike recall, let alone 6-year-olds, the ages studied in a gauge of kids’ ability to recall specific details in eye-witness court testimony, according to researchers.

Because contemporary children are so computer savvy, many adults assume they can handle huge amounts of complex detail. Kids learn like kids have always learned: through repetition. However, children no longer control the pace of their learning,” Shore says, “because adults often hover about giving instructions and getting “impatient when they can’t understand what we tell them the first time.”
