Thanks to all of you who have posted or PM'd me.
Please if you have similar issues, speak up. The more I hear the more dissapointed i get. Our kids should be cared for and treated as professionals.
Below is a list from a bullying website. It is an adult site for "work place bullying". My child has suffered everything on this list...and it sounds as though other kids have as well....
What is bullying?
1. constant nit-picking, fault-finding and criticism of a trivial nature - the triviality, regularity and frequency betray bullying; often there is a grain of truth (but only a grain) in the criticism to fool you into believing the criticism has validity, which it does not; often, the criticism is based on distortion, misrepresentation or fabrication
2. simultaneous with the criticism, a constant refusal to acknowledge you and your contributions and achievements or to recognise your existence and value
3. constant attempts to undermine you and your position, status, worth, value and potential
4. where you are in a group (eg at work), being singled out and treated differently; for instance, everyone else can get away with murder but the moment you put a foot wrong - however trivial - action is taken against you
5. being isolated and separated from colleagues, excluded from what's going on, marginalized, overruled, ignored, sidelined, frozen out, sent to Coventry
6. being belittled, demeaned and patronised, especially in front of others
7. being humiliated, shouted at and threatened, often in front of others
finding that everything you say and do is twisted, distorted and misrepresented
8. being subjected to disciplinary procedures with verbal or written warnings imposed for trivial or fabricated reasons and without proper investigation
9. being coerced into leaving through no fault of your own, constructive dismissal, early or ill-health retirement, etc
Please think about reporting those that have wronged your kids...in the long run it keeps all of our kids safe.
