Sprowston mother in stand-off with school over bullying

                                     By David HannantDHannant87Specialist reporter: health and education

A Sprowston mother is locked in a stand-off with her daughter's school after keeping her at home for the past six weeks to avoid what she describes as "brutal" bullying.

Rebecca Everson says the treatment her 12-year-old daughter Phoebe suffers has become so severe that the youngster has been left "a shell of a girl".

She says the Year 8 Sprowston Community Academy pupil is subjected to cruel messages on social media platforms like Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat and has abuse hurled at her by classmates regularly.

After raising her concerns with school leaders, Ms. Everson said her daughter's issues only got worse so for the past six weeks she has refused to send her in. However, she now claims the school is threatening her with fines over Phoebe's attendance record.

She said: "The bullying Phoebe has suffered has been awful. They send her messages calling her every name under the sun. It is brutal.

"I have rung the school and told them she does not feel safe at school and requested work to be sent home for her, but they have done nothing."

Ms. Everson the issue started in October last year, which she reported to Phoebe's teachers.

She said: "The school said they would talk to the girls involved, but when they did it just aggravated the situation.

"Some of the girls involved in the cyberbullying attend other schools nearby too, so moving schools is just not viable.

"Phoebe is a shell of the girl she was before this all began. She has done nothing to deserve this but now she's terrified to even go to school.

"I just feel like I'm going around and around in circles trying to get something done - it's terribly awful."

Sprowston Community Academy was approached for comment but said the school was unable to comment on individual cases.

Antônio Gonçalves Dias, filho de um comerciante português e de uma mestiça de negro com índio, nasceu em um sítio próximo à cidade maranhense de Caxias, em 1823. Além dos temas de amor, o poeta engajou-se com uma poética de cunho social, centrada, sobretudo, nas questões dos povos originários, ao enobrecer o indígena, em uma perspectiva do conhecido “Mito do bom selvagem”.

Leia as estrofes extraídas de “O Canto do Piaga” para responder à questão.

O CANTO DO PIAGA

I

Ó Guerreiros da Taba sagrada,

Ó Guerreiros da Tribo Tupi,

Falam Deuses nos cantos do Piaga,

Ó Guerreiros, meus cantos ouvi.

Esta noite - era a lua já morta –

Anhangá me vedava sonhar;

Eis na horrível caverna, que habito,

Rouca voz começou-me a chamar.

Abro os olhos, inquieto, medroso,

Manitôs! que prodígios que vi!

Arde o pau de resina fumosa,

Não fui eu, não fui eu, que o acendi!

Eis rebenta a meus pés um fantasma,

Um fantasma d’imensa extensão;

Liso crânio repousa a meu lado,

Feia cobra se enrosca no chão. 

O meu sangue gelou-se nas veias,

Todo inteiro - ossos, carnes – tremi.

Frio horror me coou pelos membros,

Frio vento no rosto senti.

Era feio, medonho, tremendo

Ó Guerreiros, o espectro que eu vi.

Falam Deuses nos cantos do Piaga,

Ó Guerreiros, meus cantos ouvi!

[...]

Vem trazer-vos crueza, impiedade –

Dons cruéis do cruel Anhangá;

Vem quebrar-vos a maça valente,

Profanar Manitôs, Maracás.

Vem trazer-vos algemas pesadas,

Com que a tribo Tupi vai gemer;

Hão-de os velhos servirem de escravos

Mesmo o Piaga inda escravo há de ser!

Fugireis procurando um asilo,

Triste asilo por ínvio sertão;

Anhangá de prazer há de rir-se,

Vendo os vossos quão poucos serão.

Vossos Deuses, ó Piaga, conjura,

Susta as iras do fero Anhangá.

Manitôs já fugiram da Taba,

Ó desgraça! ó ruína!! ó Tupá!
