When Did Bullying Become a Lesson Plan? A viral video from Jamaica has sparked outrage and uncomfortable laughter in equal measure. In it, a teacher instructs students to write and repeat derogatory statements about TikToker June “Rosalee” Dixon — a woman whose children were recently taken into government care following disturbing livestream remarks about harming her family. While some viewers see the classroom exercise as satirical justice, others are asking: when did it become acceptable for educators to teach children how to bully?
Rosalee’s online persona is undeniably controversial, but using her as a punchline in a classroom crosses a line. The teacher’s actions — writing mocking language and encouraging students to chant it — not only undermine the seriousness of child protection issues, but also normalise cruelty as a form of learning. This isn’t just poor judgement; it’s a dangerous precedent. If children are taught to ridicule rather than reason, what kind of society are we shaping?

The silence from Jamaica’s Ministry of Education is deafening. In a country where bullying already plagues many schools, this incident demands more than a shrug. Accountability must extend beyond Rosalee’s personal failings to the professionals entrusted with shaping young minds. Is this how we teach empathy? By turning real-life trauma into classroom entertainment?

This isn’t about defending Rosalee. It’s about defending the integrity of education. Teachers are meant to model compassion, not cruelty. If we allow classrooms to become arenas for public shaming, we risk raising a generation fluent in mockery but illiterate in kindness. The question isn’t whether Rosalee deserves ridicule — it’s whether our children deserve better.

Will this teacher face consequences, or will the classroom remain a stage for unchecked ridicule? The Ministry of Education must speak — not just to condemn this behaviour, but to clarify what values are being taught in Jamaican schools. Silence is complicity. If we allow educators to model bullying, we fail every child in that room. It’s time for accountability, transparency, and a clear message: cruelty is not curriculum.
