Violence and aggression are increasing in Czech schools, manifesting as verbal abuse, threats, or physical attacks, alongside rising instances of online stalking against teachers. While media coverage often focuses on extreme incidents, the issue is complex and multifaceted. Current efforts to address this lack sufficient resources, personnel, and comprehensive preventative measures, such as empathy education. Contributing factors include broader societal shifts, family dynamics, and the pervasive influence of social media, which can normalize aggression by rewarding attention online. Statistics show a rise in physical aggression between students, while cyberbullying shows stabilization. Solutions require multi-layered approaches: implementing security measures alongside soft prevention like fostering well-being. International examples suggest effective strategies include temporary removal of disruptive students for intensive intervention, comprehensive teacher training supported by adequate psychological and administrative resources, and establishing clear communication channels between schools, families, and authorities. Ultimately, improving the school environment requires ensuring both student and teacher safety through clear rules, robust support systems, and addressing systemic issues like staff burnout.
