Siswa SMP Al Azhar 31 Dianiaya. Allegations of bullying that befell students initials P (13), was denied by the Al-Azhar 32 Islamic Middle School Summarecon Bekasi. The school also dismissed the news the student was expelled.

Sumarwanto, Public Relations of the Al-Azhar School, said that at Summarecon 31 Al-Azhar Islamic Middle School, Bekasi is known for its student discipline book system.

This book is an indicator that records student behavior during education and is given an assessment point for what each student does.

"Every student who violates the rules listed in the code of conduct, will be charged points proportional to the weight of the violation committed by the student," Sumarwanto said.

This rule is known and agreed upon by the school and parents or guardians counted since students are registered as students.

"If the student violation points accumulate to a certain amount, then the student will get the toughest sanction, which is willing to resign," he said.

In the case of students with the initial P, the school did not take unilateral actions in the form of expenses or terminations.

The school has also carried out stages in the form of coaching guided by the homeroom teacher to correct the P. student offense points.

"However, during the training period, the person concerned has committed a violation again, so that the accumulated violation points obtained have exceeded the maximum limit set," he explained.

The school has mediated with the parents, where P students' parents have agreed and signed the transfer request letter.

"This is done in accordance with the consequences that have been known together from the beginning," he said.

Sumarwanto also emphasized, in the P case, there was no bullying at all as the parents of the students expected.

"In accordance with the findings of the facts in the field, there was never a beating by senior students to P students, but what happened was P made one-on-one physical contact with his classmates," he explained.

Previously, a parent named Azmi Fitriyasah (45), reported an alleged bullying act that called his child with the initial P (12) to the Bekasi Regional Child Protection Commission (KPAD) on Friday (12/06/2019).

Azmi explained, this alleged case of bullying was first revealed when her child was reluctant to go to school because she was afraid of being attacked by her senior.

"The last incident on September 26, 2019, my son cried as if he was lazy to go to school, instead he said 'Mother doesn't know that I was beaten'," he said.

From this confession, Azmi went to the school to ask for clarification of what had happened to her child. He said that the school did not respond to allegations of bullying seriously.

Plus when he got a report from school that his son had a bad record. This is seen from the behavioral evaluation points that have reached 1000.

"If the Al-Azhar Summarecon school has a point system, if more than 1,000 points are issued," he said.

From there Azmi felt furious, her child who received bullying treatment actually received a big point while the bullying perpetrators who gang up on her child could still be accepted by the school.

"It should be fair, maybe my child was ever late, had a fight, so the eyes of the theme got points, but if the gang does not get points, instead they are protected, meaning that it's not fair," he explained.
