On bullying:
“If you look at bullying: in schools there is a hierarchy, and there are the people with power and the people without power. In any setting, whether you look at prisons or armies or schools, you see there is bullying. Bullying is the result of the power distance and being powerless in schools. In our schools, in democratic schools, I haven’t seen any bullying at all, because children have equal power with the other people and if something happens, they can actually take action and they have a mechanism to deal with it…”
