School is not just about learning to read, write and count. Other valuable lessons can be learned, such as respect and good treatment of others.

Unfortunately, bullying remains a pervasive issue across countless schools. But we must never accept that. Through awareness and education, we can give students something to think about.

This is exactly what the teacher in this fictional story decided to do one day.

She instructed her students to carry out a simple exercise that initially sounded crazy.

The kids were told to write down the names of classmates that they hated, but nobody expected what the teacher would do next…

All I can say is, what an important message and clever way to deliver it!

A teacher asked her students to bring some tomatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each tomato was to be given the name of a person whom that child hates. So, the number of tomatoes would be equal to the number of persons they hate.
