How will socialism/communism deal with school bullying? (lemmygrad.ml)

We've already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying.

As a neurodivergent person, I've had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying.

In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying.

How can socialism deal with this issue?

I think the question will be entirely open under socialism, because if a lot of better school structures are not viable under capitalism, it doesn't mean that capitalist-compatible education models will instantly be abolished.

I think that making schools as stress free and interesting as possible would take care of most casual bullying. Then more educated staff to deal with extreme cases implying specific conditions might take care of the rest.

That's just my guess though, don't quote me on that
