German school officials readily admit that student tensions and behavior issues are multiplying day after day. Some of this has to do with social media, and some of it involves a different culture/society that is developing.
So there's this new invention that I read about today.....mediators. Yes, German schools are bringing in meditators to talk with kids and persuade them to step away.....take a deep breath.....look at the issue in a different way.....then move on.
These mediators now have regular hours at some schools.
Yes.....someone to professionally sit and listen to a kid whine....then dump some empathy upon them.
All this student rage and frustration? Wrongs done against some kid? The mediators hears them out.
I looked over the story. There is no doubt that things have gone turbo with social media, and schools in Germany function like schools in the US.....under continual stress.
