And 1 yr back a family experience of this with 7 yr old girl bullied every day by 4 boys. Total class size 30 students.

 

When the girl told her parents they quickly went to the school, headmistress refused to talk to them sending a message they should talk to the teacher.

 

School admin. said have to make an appointment 7 days ahead to talk to the teacher and up to the teacher whether she is willing to talk to you.....

and what about the teachers here .. bullies too..

I don't. Bullying is a part of the Thai ethos and it doesn't stop with schools, it extends to Universities, Armed Forces Training, bullying is even de-rigeur in some offices. It's all a part of a primitive cultural and hierarchical tradition and stretches from the bottom of Thai society to the very top. It's a lot ike corruption in that regard, which is another form of bullying - asserting oneself over the hoi polloi is essential for the go-ahead Thai.
