EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The New Boy, an illustration from the Illustrated London News, August 13, 1859, after a work by George Smith". This print takes us back to the 19th century classroom setting where education and teaching were intertwined with social dynamics. The image portrays a historical scene of a young Welsh boy standing at the center of attention in his new school. Surrounding him is a group of mischievous students who have formed a gang with intentions to tease and ridicule their fellow pupil. George Smith's remarkable artwork captures the intensity and cruelty that often accompanied schooling during this era. The new boy becomes the target of bullying as he endures tormenting remarks and intimidation from his classmates. Their actions reflect how some individuals would take pleasure in making fun of others simply because they were different or unfamiliar. This archival photograph serves as an important reminder of the challenges faced by students throughout history when entering unfamiliar environments. It sheds light on issues such as peer pressure, conformity, and exclusion that continue to be relevant today. As we observe this snapshot from the past, it prompts us to reflect on our own educational experiences and consider how far we have come in creating inclusive learning environments for all students. Let it serve as a testament to our commitment towards eradicating bullying and fostering empathy within classrooms worldwide.
