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 strongly suspect the prison- and factory-like conditions :foucalt-madness: of schools contribute to violent norm-enforcing behavior. The strict hierarchical division between the authoritative "knowledge giver" and the supposedly empty-minded "receptacle of knowledge" as well.

Freir's Pedagogy if the Oppressed may tangentially be relevant to this topic, although I don't remember specifics.
