Letter to the editor. Close the boarding school in Sigtuna

Disgusting reading about bullying structures in boarding schools. Over and over again! For years. Now the iceberg is growing at Sigtunaskolan: penalism, threats, violence, violations and fears.

Children do not dare to tell their parents. Parents do not dare to come forward. Fear of consequences if you tell. Fear of consequences for both parents and students who dare to break the culture of silence. Fear both from older students - and the school management?

Why do you call the violence "deeply rooted traditions"? Do you want to minimize what happens by calling them "traditions"? It is deep-rooted penalism and serious crimes that are committed in a culture of silence, a "parallel society" that is frowned upon.

Parents must still be aware of where they send their children, in which "culture"? Assume that a number of parents also do it with open eyes to carry on the "tradition".

I read that the School Inspectorate now has to "take action". Sadly, we have heard them before. It remains to be seen what happens this time.

As usual, do we get to read a repeat of this in a few years again? The best thing would be to close the school until those responsible have fundamentally succeeded in changing "their structures".
